Beyond The Plate
Project Type
Photography
Date
Spring 2023
Beyond the Plate is a photographic exploration of food and culture. With my camera, I use food to convey things beyond what is on the plate. The photographs are meant to evoke a sense of mystery through the use of opulent objects and raw food. Specifically, by juxtaposing delicate foods (caviar, salmon, oysters, etc.) with heavy, extravagant jewelry, the work creates a dialogue about social class and status. It potentially leaves the viewer with feelings of uneasiness or discomfort. Ultimately, the goal is to compel the viewer to consider these ideas by connecting the objects and placement to society’s obsession with reputation and prestige.
