My project is about people.
because people make the place.
Within that larger context of people, I’m interested in how the same space is perceived and viewed differently by different people; everyone sees varying things based on who they are, where they come from, their values, interests, a million things.

This leads me to the study of an event which incorporates all of these ideas into one: people eating together. Eating is a commonplace, universal event; all people take part in this ubiquitous act each and every day the world over and yet it...
