Home cooked meals can evoke comfort, tradition, and sociality but its very absence can point to its commodification and politicization.

Definitions of maturity vary depending on the nature of change, but we can expect to explore the awkwardness, confusion, and discomfort that is inherent in seeking (or being thrust into) growth.

Is this relationship conflict oriented, harmonious, or somewhere between the two? This coexistence can be analyzed through historical evolution, science fiction, artificial intelligence (AI), the impacts of neoliberalism, utopias, dystopias, current realities, and imagined futures.
