CS 2015 SAVOUR / NO. 02

SAVOUR (2015) is a photography installation that explores how the female body is seen and ‘consumed’ within visual culture.

By shifting the focus from eating as a mundane act to a stylised gesture, the work frames it as a performance in which femininity is both displayed and scrutinised. 

Drawing on the polished aesthetics of food advertising, the work serves as a contemporary vanitas portrait.

No. 02 from the SAVOUR installation, 2015.
