Belfast InternationalMy images explore how young internationals, living in Northern Ireland, make "home from home." Food says a great deal about culture, serving as a reminder of national identity. The food cupboard is representative of the individual, defining them, both culturally and personally. The cupboard is a shell, like the body, containing an identity. The cupboards demonstrate how individuals adapt to local culture. A sense of displacement arises away from home, national identity often lost in the face of a new culture. Yet, internationals bring with them new traditions, insights and flavours, challenging the status quo of locals. The cupboards explore how young internationals retain their own sense of cultural identity, how they "fit in" without losing their heritage.
