For Our Grandmothers, 2019 From the series Chinatown Reverie A mother and her adult daughter share a meal together in Helsinki. For many immigrant and minority communities, shared meals become quiet acts of preservation. Through food, memories of home endure even when families live far from where those traditions began. Around the table, stories are told and retold, traditions remembered, and everyday rituals passed forward. In moments like these, home is not only remembered—it is continually remade.
