Visual Communication – Hong Yu Ran

Project Description

Waiting for the Eggs to Dance, and other tales from my grandmother’s kitchen, is a journey of a woman through the eyes and taste buds of her family. Living in a time ravaged by war, poverty and cultural oppression during the Japanese Occupation in World War II. 18-year-old Soon Ee becomes a military nurse, wife and mother overnight. From the sanctuary of her kitchen, recipes recount the fight for survival through the war, each dish struggling for a cultural identity post colonialism period, cooking to find her independence in the modern world and feeding 4 generations along the way.
