For this triptych project, I illustrated a life story of a star chef, Jean Georges. By researching his background and his present life, I found out that he was mostly influenced by the trip that he went to Asia, especially Bangkok. Then he combined the asian food and his original french style cooking and came up with a new style food. So, for the past scene, I illustrated him in Bangkok in a river market, buying different spices and trying various foods. For present scene, I combined Bangkok and France in the background and placing him in the front, holding his plates and expressing him that he now became a star chef. In the future scene, Jean George, now in heaven but in his future house, still trying to improve his recipe and trying new things to develop his chef career.

The book will consist of illustrations of objects that had meaning in my life. Each object will come together to unravel the story about me. lived in multiple countries since I was young and had to go through different cultures. Each country had a unique atmosphere and background. Learning each culture and trying to fit into a new environment has been challenging but it has surely contributed in shaping who I am now. Throughout my stays in countries, I had a particular obsession in collecting objects that were unique to each country. As time passed, I grew attachment to these objects as they felt like they represented my special times when I was living in each country. Therefore, I felt that drawings of packaging of different products I encountered as I grew up would be a good way of illustrating my past and my present. This process means a lot to me because this was something I really wanted to create sometime in my lifetime. I think this year is the right time where i finally settled in and I am preparing for my next chapter in life. By creating a book, I want to reflect on my life and spend time to study about myself and how different chapters have contributed to who I am today.
