“Through the lens of the Asian American pantry, my ceramic sculptures explore how shared nostalgia can connect a diaspora across geography, heritage, and class,” the artist wrote on her website. She then added that in the last three years she has folded over 1,500 porcelain dumplings and sculpted a kitchen’s worth of instant noodles, soy sauce, spam, and 50-pound bags of rice.

If you have a peek at her creations, you’ll notice how the labels she bases off of iconic products are made with so much precision and accuracy. All of her sculptures are made of polymer clay and later painted with acrylic paint.

“At this point, my art practice is as much about research and community-building as it is about sculpting and painting. I can spend hours researching the era-appropriate packaging for a given grocery, and I love crowd-sourcing shared nostalgia from the Asian-American diaspora,” she said in an interview for Ballpit.

“I also love getting lost in my own space, which is me and my paints, brushes, clay, and my creativity—that is when I try to come up with art that is out of my comfort zone. I love to make weird and fantasy animals. I create new items every week,” he shared on his website.

“The process of making every creature and animal is very personal to me,” Brown Paper Bag quotes her, “it takes dozens of hours to complete the sculpture until it is exceptionally carefully hand-painted with maximum of details and finished with glossy varnish.”
