Feeding the Nation II

With this work, I explore the way our bodies relate to the world around us through the perspectives of food and water. The work aims to rethink basic human needs and questions how our bodies cope in a world in which excess has become common place. By serving water, the two costumes operate as a contemporary offering, while questioning the relationship between those who serve and those who consume. Through the use of maternal signifiers such as the female body and breasts, it furthermore exposes the tension between our insatiable lust for consumption and the basic needs required for human survival.
