Savor
Gillian Arden
Savor is an exploration of the visual deconstruction of food and its relation to domesticity. The tension between sustenance and performance, mess and ritual. My thesis project explores the intertwined rituals of food and domesticity through acts of deconstruction—physical, and emotional. Drawing from personal memory, tradition, and poetry, I examine how the kitchen acts as both a place of nourishment and a stage for performance, repetition, and control.
