Food and Space
Food can really trigger the imagination.
Have you ever tried origami animals made of food paper? Or drinking champagne gas from a balloon? What about straw dining — sucking your food up from dishes hidden under the tabletop, turning dinner into a whole new experience?
People always enjoy eating food, but they never notice the micro-space and beauty inside food, and rarely play with it. This project let imagination go wild — creating a guidebook to fun food experiences that reveal the hidden worlds in what we eat every day.
Seeing What We Overlook
Using stop motion and film, the project zoomed into the textures, structures, and colors of food at a scale we normally ignore — revealing architecture in a slice of bread, landscapes in a cross-section of fruit, and playful narratives in everyday ingredients.
The work was as much about the craft of observation as it was about food. Stop motion demanded patience and precision — each frame a deliberate composition, each transition a small discovery.
Why This Still Matters
This project trained a way of seeing — the habit of looking closely at familiar things and finding something unexpected. That same instinct shows up in every product I design today: noticing the micro-interactions that others skip, the small moments of delight or friction that shape how a product feels.
Design at its best is about making people notice what they’ve been overlooking — whether it’s the hidden space inside food or the hidden potential in how they work.
