Family Style
Thien Pham
Thien’s earliest recollections are tied to food, including watermelon and fish eaten while his family fled Vietnam by sea. After reaching a refugee camp in Thailand, the Pham family struggles to survive before resettling in California. Food takes on different meanings through each stage of their lives: strawberries become connected with the parents’ search for work, while Thien’s journey through food is also a search for belonging in America.
