We had just wheeled our suitcases into a modest hotel in Ma Tau Wai, a dense, working-class neighborhood on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong. That check-in wasn\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e’\u003c\/span\u003et the start of a vacation. It wasn\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e’\u003c\/span\u003et a journey of choice, but of necessity. It was the beginning of a government-mandated 21-day quarantine that would separate us from the world just beyond our hotel room windows. In the end, our twenty-one days were measured not so much by calendars and clocks as by the rhythm of sixty-two meals, the slow passage of time marked out in portions, in routines that gave shape to an otherwise formless confinement. To give structure to this suspended time, I began this photographic project: documenting every meal that arrived at our door. Each photograph was paired with the hotel\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e’\u003c\/span\u003es printed menu description, along with a personal rating on a scale of one to ten. What began as a small distraction soon became something more—a meditation on repetition, a study in sameness and variation, and, in its own way, a quiet rebellion. It was a different perspective of documenting a unique moment in time of global movement and dependence. By paying close attention to the details of each meal, I reclaimed a measure of agency within the imposed monotony. What could have been only dreary sustenance became a record of endurance, a reminder that, even in confinement, there are ways to shape meaning and to remember.
