While exploring potential topics about food, I was drawn to the psychological implications of cooking.
I decided to use my experience of cooking alone while study abroad as a starting point.
I decided to use my experience of cooking alone while study abroad as a starting point.
For me, solitary cooking is
a fairly bland part of
routine when the mind wanders blindly.
The lack of presence that permeates the air when dining alone leaves voids that need to be filled; be it films, social media, or music.
“Solace cooking” is a hypothetical interaction
that aims to channel the wandering attention and detachment that comes with solitary cooking in an exaggerated manner.
The interaction comes in the form of a game, where the player is tasked with taking care of a mysterious creature: a Soul Companion.
