I am raising money to be able to print and display my project during our final show at the Stanley Picker Gallery. Devoured brings together the idea of unity and community through food, a concept I personally grew up with. A tradition of leaving all your differences aside when you're at the dinner table and simply enjoying each others company.
I am a photographer born and raised in Kuwait. Having done photography in a more commercial setting, I came to Kingston University to pursue a deeper understanding of how photography is more than just a click of a button or another photo on a billboard, and why photos are displayed they are.
Not many photographers go to an art school and end up doing a project around food. That's why this is different. It may seem universal, but it is also personal. I grew up visiting extended family on a weekly basis where we would all sit down to have a meal together. As I grew older, we did this with friends as well. A set day, every week, where we all come together and leave our differences at home! It creates a strong bond and a strong community, and its something I miss strongly about Kuwait.
