Project

The series explores food as both a subject and a material, inviting viewers to look beyond the superficial visual impression and explore the layered wordplay embedded in each poster. At first glance, the compositions appear recognisable – clean, bold, and alluring – yet a closer inspection reveals subtle linguistic twists that alter perception and meaning. Words serve as ingredients, the wordplay mirrors flavours, and typography becomes a narrative tool that blurs the boundary between language and taste.

Each poster challenges the viewer to reconsider not only what they see, but also what the work is made of. The medium is revealed through proximity, gradually shifting from suggestion to recognition. By suggesting that the material itself might be derived from the food it represents, the work creates a sensory tension between visual consumption and physical reality. This ambiguity fosters curiosity and encourages a slower, more deliberate way of looking.

Through this interplay of text, image, and implicit medium, the series transforms the act of viewing into an act of decoding. It celebrates humour, perception, and the richness of language, while subtly redefining the role of the poster – transforming it from a passive visual object into an interactive, conceptual experience.
