2018 GRAPHIC DESIGN DEGREE PROJECT

My research explores the communal aspects of food and music. The marriage between cooking and music within cultures is a rhythmic and dynamic relationship. The unlikely combination of smell and sound share similar characteristics that work harmoniously with one another. Drawing inspiration from my Filipino background where both elements mingle to play an integral role in bringing people together, I bring a sense of cross-cultural lens into the concept, combining Filipino cuisine with popular music from America. In this project, I explore the orchestration within cooking and its symbiotic relationship with the melodies of a song.

The concept sets the stage and the memories in which one would remember being in the kitchen. The table cloth, in which the video was projected on, represents the unifying factor shared by both elements

The title, Did You Eat Yet? comes from the saying that one would be greeted with as the walk through the doors of a Filipino aunt’s kitchen, such as mine. This phrase launches the whole orchestra of food making into action.
