ONLY FOR CONSUMPTION DURING AN EMOTIONAL CRISIS
When you’re far from home, even the trashiest food can become precious
When I moved halfway across the world to the United Kingdom, I only brought with me one pack of my favourite noodles from home. Completely underestimating how homesick I would get, the noodles lived on my wall with a sticky note on it stating “Only for consumption during an emotional crisis”
I realised I couldn’t be the only one who latched onto random food items, hence, I started this documentary series showcasing international students and their strange attachments to foods from their home country.
Oh and I also had loads of fun in Photoshop while at it.
