Woven Banquet
In this project, I take images of food photographed during shared meals with female friends as the core material, and construct a three-dimensional installation using acrylic panels. The presence of the “other” is deliberately softened, allowing food itself to function as a metaphor for relationships—an energy flow between individuals that is fragile yet genuine. Each image of food becomes a fragment of a sentence we collectively compose, while the project as a whole unfolds as a narrative co-created by both sides.
“Eating together” is treated as a form of communication older than language—one that precedes logic, narrative structure, and even social discipline. As the most fundamental human survival instinct, food marks the point from which a civilization begins; it is also the original site where intimacy, power, and co-construction emerge. In this work, food is understood as a “modern forbidden fruit”—not a symbol of original sin, but of the possibility of jointly creating a world.Suspended and rendered transparent in space, these images resemble semi-solidified language, lingering at a moment when meaning has yet to settle. They invite viewers to reconsider how images, beyond the domain of language, can reconfigure relationships between people.
