The Narrative:
Designed to evoke the clinical, meticulous precision of antique medical illustrations, “Feast” transforms a familiar object into something distinctly uncanny. The freshly cracked walnut acts as an exposed cranium, revealing the delicate, brain-like folds resting within the rigid shell.
By blurring the lines between botanical study and anatomical reality, the narrative shifts inward. The larvae emerging from the shell are not merely feeding on a harvest; they symbolize intrusive, parasitic thoughts. They are the quiet anxieties, the persistent doubts, and the creeping misinformation that take root and slowly feed on the mind.
“Feast” is a quiet reflection on our internal landscapes. It is a visual metaphor for the psychological parasites that consume our energy, prompting us to ask: how do we protect the fragile spaces within our own minds?
