What's For Dinner Today

Zhao Liu

Based on the idea of Calligram, a series of food graphics are formed by splitting and reorganizing the strokes of the text “今天吃什么(What’s for dinner today)”. The three meals a day are integrated into the horizontal, vertical and horizontal dots, intuitively responding to the exhibition theme. All these graphics finally form the pictures of different Chinese dishes.
