“Duck Soup” 鴨湯- 117x91cm- Oil on Canvas, 2009

An Asian girl enjoys a bowl of colorful rubber duckies. Where does our food come from? With the advent of manufacturing and mass production, food is a product – often sold through enticing practices, free toys, slogans and mascots. Food has become something to play with – not something to be nourished by. If it isn’t fun and good looking, we won’t eat it.

一位亞洲女孩品嚐顏色繽紛的橡皮鴨湯。我們吃的食物從哪來的呢？由於製造業的出現加上可大量生產的原因，食物就成了一種產品。人們通常是因為有誘人的料理方法、免費玩具、口號、吉祥物等因素才會去買這食物，而不是因為營養豐富才買。若顧客覺得不有趣且食物看起來不好吃，他們就不會去嚐試。
