Tracing Origins

Tracing Origins explores the geographical and cultural histories of common vegetables and fruits. Realised as a mixed-media installation, the work sheds light on the journeys of these everyday foods, tracing their paths from various lands of origin to our plates. The project reflects the interplay between nature, culture, and human history, presenting vegetable plants not merely as objects of nourishment but as symbols of migration, exchange, and transformation.
