What's For Dinner, Mama?
Creator: Zilia Thien Nguyen
I wanted to tell this story because I was interested in the idea of feeling trapped whether it be mentally or physically and wanted to express that idea through the metaphor of two children being stuck in a room who develop different escape plans. I wanted to explore the idea of how feeling confined can make us feel - losing our minds or getting out of touch with reality.
