Centre of the Table

A sensory study of botanical culture and shared memory

This artwork explores how the sensory experience of Tom Yum, one of Thailand’s most internationally recognised dishes, can be translated into floral and sculptural form. Drawing from the dish’s distinctive balance of sour, spicy, salty, and aromatic sensations, the work reconstructs flavour through visual composition, botanical materials, and spatial arrangement.

At the core of the installation are raw ingredients commonly found in Tom Yum—lemongrass, lime leaves, galangal, chilli, and lime—presented not as culinary components, but as sensory and sculptural elements. These materials are arranged within traditional Thai ceramic bowls, including the iconic chicken-patterned bowl, which becomes both a cultural reference and a vessel for perception. The work invites participants to engage with each ingredient through sight, scent, and proximity, allowing the body to recognise flavour before consumption.

The installation is also informed by Thai food culture as a practice of sharing. In traditional dining, dishes are placed at the centre of the table, encouraging collective gathering and exchange. Forks and spoons act as tools of connection, distributing food across individual plates while maintaining a shared experience. This gesture of communal eating becomes a metaphor within the work, reflecting how memory, culture, and identity are formed through collective participation.

Through a combination of floral arrangement, sensory composition, and botanical materials, the artwork transforms Tom Yum into a multisensory environment. It reflects the artist’s perspective as someone working from within that culture, translating lived cultural experience into a spatial and sensory encounter. Rather than representing food, the work invites audiences to experience it as memory, atmosphere, and shared cultural language.

I honestly think the parrot tulip has become one of my most favourites! 🌷
