PETALING JAYA: Instead of using traditional mediums, the founders of Rojak Projek are creating portraits out of the one thing that resonates most among Malaysians – food.

Rojak Projek’s co-founders, 28-­­­­year-old Rachel Lee and Faye Lim, are using an assortment of food such as nasi lemak and roti canai in their portraits of Malay­sians.
