Reimagining Family Dynamics in the Digital Age
Today’s families rarely eats together as each members got their own time zones, yet we all craves the sense of accompany. As a result of rarely dining with each other, we often feel awkward and forced when the whole family can finally gather together.
On Authentic Presence
Inspired by our personal experience, due to school studies, we have moved out of our homes, every now and then we return for a meal, we experience a odd clash with two sets of ideologies on family's accompany: One inside our heads (personal memories of family members), and one in the real world for lack of better words. Recontextualizing the elements of existence, we define the essence of accompany as a state of mind, and not with the actual members around us.
