“The Taste of Home’’ is a sculptural universe shaped by my childhood breakfasts, where my mom's nasi lemak was always the sunshine on my plate. This island reimagines nasi lemak as a living archipelago, with rice mountains and bustling towns, celebrating how a humble meal can unite us beyond taste; into memory, identity and home. Created in celebration of Merdeka month, this artwork honours Malaysia’s diversity through a breakfast that nourished my dreams, reminding us that food is more than sustenance, but it’s also a way to remember who we are.
