Steam from the Rooster Bowl
Jasmin Maniam

This contemplative still life depicts a steaming bowl of rice resting beside a pair of chopsticks. The bowl bears the familiar rooster motif commonly found on traditional enamelware used throughout Southeast Asia. The design is closely associated with enamel bowls produced in Lampang, Thailand, which became widely used across homes, coffee shops, and street stalls throughout the region.

Rice, the staple food of Southeast Asia, symbolizes nourishment, continuity, and community. By focusing on this simple meal, the painting reflects a shared cultural experience familiar to many across the region.

Through subdued lighting and careful realism, the work transforms an everyday dish into a reflective still life, celebrating the warmth and cultural resonance of a humble bowl of rice.
