"Dear Nani" is a deeply personal project that goes beyond documenting recipes—it is a tribute to culinary heritage, memory, and family storytelling. The project seeks to revive the lost recipes of the artist’s late maternal grandmother, whose handwritten cookbook was tragically destroyed in a fire. Through oral histories and visual storytelling, it reconstructs family traditions and the flavors that shaped generations. At the heart of this project is the artist’s mother, who recreates forgotten dishes through instinct and memory, preserving not just recipes but the emotions and rituals tied to them. A carefully curated photobook intertwines archival photographs, handwritten notes, and intimate narratives, offering a visual and textual homage to the lost recipes. "Dear Nani" is not just a collection of dishes—it is an effort in cultural preservation, capturing the essence of home, heritage, and the unspoken bonds that food creates across generations.
