Yoya’s Table, 2023

This project was part of Tostitos’ TOST Super Bowl 2023 experience. Yoya’s Table focuses on my connection to food through the lens of family history and places where we congregate around food, specifically my great aunt Gloria’s (Yoya) vibrant green dining room table. Her table is where my family gathers for homemade meals that are both catalysts for storytelling and the culmination of comfort. Yoya’s Table captures how food fuels the stories we share while in this familial space, and how these stories transport us back in time to childhood memories and magical places - especially with the additional fuel of a cafecito and pan dulce.
