Soul Food
Paper, PLA, and mixed media
11×11 in. (framed)
2024
A bowl of ramen, rendered entirely in hand-rolled paper. Every element — the noodles, the toppings, the suggestion of broth — shaped coil by coil. Real chopsticks rest across the surface, mid-meal.
The bowl cannot nourish anyone. And yet something in the act of making it, and in the looking, clearly does.
