Bored Panda reached out to Min Kyungjin again to learn more about her food art. Many chefs and food artists find that their creative practices extend beyond the kitchen, influencing their personal cooking and eating habits. Thinking about that, we asked Min Kyungjin how food art shapes everyday culinary experiences for her. "I used to think about meals in terms of taste and nutrition, but now the visual aspect has become just as important" she shared. "I find myself naturally trying to plate dishes more creatively, even for everyday meals. Sometimes, they turn out so pretty that I hesitate to eat them!"
Min Kyungjin told us that she draws a lot of inspiration from fashion brands, contemporary art, and fellow creatives. "Collaborating with fashion brands has especially pushed me to explore color and form in new ways. Fashion designers’ aesthetic sensibilities often spark ideas for my work."
"The best moments are when people see my work and react with amazement—when they say, 'Is this really made from food?' It’s rewarding to see my work appreciated as more than just a dish but as a piece of art. Also, when brands reach out to collaborate, it reassures me that what I’m creating is being recognized and valued."
