Luna
Luna is a dance about, for, and with my matcha green Tatung Rice Cooker - a piece of traditional Taiwanese kitchenware. It is one of the first things my mom received from a distant relative after arriving in Canada ten years ago. Tatung Rice Cooker sits in every Taiwanese household. It is a very practical and important helper in the kitchen, and a symbol of home, familiarity and comforting warm dishes.
Sometimes when life gets intense and overwhelming, I find my mind wandering while I try to accomplish the mundane, everyday tasks…
