Feast Waste in Black

Feast Waste confronts the paradox of food waste in a world marked by both famine and abundance. The project illustrates the relationship between society's consumption habits and the staggering amounts of edible material that are discarded daily. It was through the food remains of our household that Feast Waste came to fruition. In a world where millions suffer from hunger and malnutrition, the sheer volume of food waste, from my home and others’, is not only ethically troubling but also environmentally unsustainable. Food scraps from cooking and produce that has started to decay are used as the primary medium. Every sculpture is built to challenge the notion of disposability and highlighting the inherent value in every morsel of sustenance. Through the meticulous arrangement of botanical matter, viewers are invited to contemplate the farm to fork to landfill practice. My artistic practice serves as a platform for dialogue, provoking questions about our societal priorities and the systemic flaws within our food systems. By confronting the discomforting reality of food waste, I hope to inspire action and foster a collective responsibility towards more sustainable practices.
