Yoko Meshi is a visual response of my trip to Japan as a participant of the 2014 Kakehashi Project: a cultural exhange between Japanese and American students.
The book contains recipies, poetry, and photography inspired by my experiences in Japan. It was featured along with 12 handmade travel journals, and a series of photography in a gallery exhibit titled "Tadaima: I'm Home" at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Eating you, entranced
Hot and salty, fast slurping
