My family lives in different countries, and social networks help us stay connected.
My cousin shares daily pictures of meat, which inspired me to create a series of
paintings. I made eight pieces that depersonalize the meat, highlighting how these
cuts often lose their connection to a living body. This loss of identity can lead to a
more distanced way of consuming them, as we may not recognize the life they once
represented.

With this work, I want to explore the connection between food and identity. By naming
each painting after someone I know, I encourage viewers to reflect on the personal
histories that shape our relationship with what we eat.
