I Will Be Your Shelter
Ping Ting Lo
My world is not here but my heart is.
I am interested in liberating the banal aspects of day-to-day life from their ordinary places. By doing this, I hope to put the focus on them and find a deeper meaning. This project's main focus is to combine food and sculpture with a sensitive approach in order to portray my relationship with my family. The ephemeral nature of food allows me to find the balance of life and enjoy it. It is not only a source of beauty, but a place to lay down my head in brief respite.
Growing up is a fascinating journey. There are many exciting things in the world and I make seeing them and experiencing them a priority. Inserting myself into the world allows me to see how lucky I am to have a family who is always there whenever I feel it is time to return home. There are many ways to express feelings and care. My family shows their affection through food.
"Dinner is ready!"
That is the sound I hear the most at home. I remember the smell of my mother's hair after she cooks. I remember the piles of exotic fruits that always seem to be fresh and restocked at the center of our kitchen table each day. Food is an emotional trigger for me. It carries certain memories and feelings. Sometimes even fantasy.
