食飯啦, “sik fan la”, by jin yuen is a multimedia piece that explores the role of food in the migrant experience, using it as a metaphor for connection, loss, and identity. the title, meaning "dinner's ready" in cantonese, represents both the comfort of familiar food and the emotional weight it carries.
yuen examines how food, particularly in family meals, preserves cultural heritage while highlighting the emotional distance migrants often feel from their homeland. the work reflects on how these rituals of nourishment are intertwined with memory and the sacrifices of migration.
