A portrait of a Dutch born Australian citizen

Globalization affects our Food preferences. Yet, cultural identity still derives very much from the traditional food and the traditional cooking. To eat the Dutch Pinda kaas (peanut butter) in Australia, it would cost time, money, carbon dioxide emissions, but it would taste like home….or almost.

The taste of memories, the taste of home, food identity or an integration issue.

"A portrait of a Dutch born Australian citizen" is the second piece of the project "In my food opinion" which questions What our food identity is, What the personal perception of food is and Why food or anything else changes its properties when taken out of its context.

In a minimalistic way the contradiction between color, material, style and expression is used to show the great difference between a food product (Dutch peanut butter Pindakass) and the local environment.
