Recipes from Mom’s Kitchen
An illustration series inspired by the realization that, growing up, my family never really had traditional recipes passed down through generations. And, to be fair, my mom was never much of a cook either.
Through humor and a child’s perspective, the project celebrates these everyday dishes and the personal stories behind them.

The Chicken’s Life Story
An illustrated childhood memory of the whole roasted chickens my mother used to bring home from the supermarket. Before serving dinner, she would give each chicken a name and invent an entire life story for it, telling us where it came from and what it had been through. A funny and slightly absurd family ritual that turned an ordinary dinner into a story of its own.
School Sandwich
An illustrated childhood memory of the fresh pita my mother used to make for us every morning before school. The project captures the familiar routine of preparing homemade food, turning a simple everyday moment into a personal story about family, care, and the small rituals we grow up with.
Classic Orange Soup
A personal illustration inspired by the orange soup my mother used to make when I was little. Told from the perspective of a curious child, the story takes an ordinary homemade dish and turns it into something unexpected, exploring how imagination can transform even the most familiar things.
