‘Dari Tangan Ke Tangan: Mewarisi Masakan Melayu’ | ‘From Hand to Hand: Inheriting Malay Cooking’

LASALLE College of the Arts, 2025
Year 3, Semester 2

‘Dari Tangan Ke Tangan: Mewarisi Masakan Melayu’ is a project dedicated to capturing the lived experience of Malay cooking as an act of heritage transmission.

Moving beyond standard recipe documentation, it focuses on the unspoken techniques, inherited instincts, and deeply personal knowledge-sharing moments that define Malay cuisine.

This project seeks to create a multisensory, immersive archive of Malay food culture as a call to preserve not just the dishes themselves, but the rituals, gestures, and intergenerational bonds that make them meaningful.

A multidisciplinary designer and storyteller whose work weaves through memory, identity, and vernacular culture. My practice often begins with the everyday—what we cook, inherit, and forget—and grows into visual archives, publications, and digital experiments that hold space for nuance.

Whether I’m tracing the rhythms of intergenerational food traditions or curating horror literature on @shereadsbecause, I’m drawn to the soft, the intimate, the unspoken.

Currently based in Singapore. Always looking for new collaborators, conversations, and contradictions.
