Lao Diam (Old Store)

Lao Diam

Hi! Here is Yvonne, a student majoring in 3D Modelling and still trying to use my work to tell good stories. 

My work “Lao Diam” translates to "Old Store" in Hokkien. It depicts a classic Malaysian grocery store, illustrating the persistence of that nation's culture in our own.

For a variety of reasons, the old supply stores of our memories are progressively disappearing in our nation. I tried to preserve those recollections in my work.

Fun fact: I asked my friends and family to contribute their favorite snacks and beverages from their childhood, and I integrated some of those favorites to my work.
