Gold Medal
Love and food have always been deeply intertwined in my family. Whenever you visited, one of the first questions from any relative was, "Did you eat?" For us, the table is not just a piece of furniture, but a gathering place where we come together with loved ones to share stories, create memories, and enjoy each other’s company. It's where we make connections. The act of thoughtfully preparing and presenting food or an arranged table becomes a profound expression of love and care.
The Creatures of Curiosity explores the legacy of the things we pass down for future generations to cherish. It draws inspiration from my collection of fine china, representing the essence of tradition and the beauty of connections forged through gathering over a shared meal. With a special focus on a range of creatures like exotic birds, tigers, cheetahs, snakes, insects, and monkeys, the lavish visual feast depicts an eclectic range where the brightness of color, ornate patterns, and unconventional food pairings suggest temptation and indulgence through the richness of nourishment, the opulence of life and exotic luxuries.
