Yoko Meshi

Taken literally, meshi means 'boiled rice' and yoko means 'horizontal,' so combined you get 'a meal eaten sideways.' This is how the Japanese define the peculiar stress induced by speaking a foreign language.

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.
