Decades of Dim Sum honours the restaurant and the staff from Floata Seafood, a Vancouver Chinatown restaurant that was closed by the city in Oct 2025. For 30 years, Floata served families and hosted private events in their banquet style space that sat 1000 people. It was the dim sum place the artist grew up going to for over 15 years. The staff knew their family and it was a place the artist looked forward to eating at every time they returned home. This piece honours Floata Seafood’s legacy and wishes their staff good luck in the future, reminding folks to support their local restaurants.
The BIG FOOD series was developed after the artist painted a mural for a local business called Simple Burger in 2021. The people behind this family-owned spot inspired them to develop a larger series about small businesses, immigrant culture and the love language of food.
Small businesses work above and beyond to operate their shops and produce meals. Behind all of them are people working tirelessly devoting themselves to their businesses. Food feels a lot more precious when we see all the work that has gone into it.
Food is also a love language. It falls under “Acts of Service” and yet it could be entirely its own. Many cultures use food as a form of care and to develop stronger bonds with loved ones. It is what builds our cultures and gives us space to belong to, especially for folks away from their homes. Food paves the way for our communities and often defines what home feels like.
The BIG FOOD series is an unlimited illustration series and will continue to speak to these themes and represent a vast array of cultures and people. As of 2023, the series is comprised of eight illustrations, each inspired by a specific small business or story.
