You Are What You Eat
“You Are What You Eat” is a short mixed-media comic series, blending themes of food and childhood memories to depict a doomsday scenario. The English saying "you are what you eat" parallels the Chinese concept '以形(Yi Xing Bu Xing),' where eating food resembling an afflicted body part aids healing. Set in the near future, humans consume special canned foods to transform into legendary monsters, avoiding diseases and disasters. The comic intertwines apocalyptic imagery with my childhood, food memories, and Chinese family culture.
