Taking inspiration from Justin Walker’s photograph, “amuse-bouche” is a conceptual still-life, meant to challenge the conventional perception of ‘Feast’. It invites the viewer to examine the ideas of nourishment and pleasure which can both aim to satisfy various tastes and desires. Highlighting the juxtaposition between physical sustenance and corporeal sensuality, here a feast can also represent the fulfillment of desires, the satisfaction of cravings, and the enjoyment of life’s pleasures.
