Human rights and civil liberties has been an ongoing issue in the South East Asian region since the mid 20th century. The project Wrapped in Rights aims to bring light and raise awareness to conflict in that region through food. The dish created with this project specifically highlights Hong Kong and Taiwan through traditional Chinese cooking; seeking to use food as a symbol of unity, community, and resilience, among individuals and communities who are fighting for their rights in these regions.

The Wrapped in Rights project aims to bring attention to the ongoing issues of human rights and civil liberties in the Southeast Asian region by using food as a symbol of unity, community, and resilience. The dish created for this initiative is a modern take on Zong Zi, a popular Chinese cuisine that is typically enjoyed during the Dragon Boat Festival, honoring the life of Qu Yuan. The project seeks to highlight the struggles for human rights and civil liberties in Hong Kong and Taiwan by creating a sweet pineapple Zong Zi and a savory fishball Zong Zi, respectively, using traditional Chinese cooking methods. Through this project, the aim is to raise awareness and shed light on the ongoing conflict in the Southeast Asian region.
