Naturaleza muerta con dulces y merengue
Digital Photography, Sacred / Mythological, Digital, 200x80cm
The photographs are inspired in sweet foods still life paintings of 1600.
The theme is abstinence.
My personal experience when I was young was not eat sweets during the Lenten season. So I researched on sugar and its symbolic meanings. Sugar is pure white, is a "food" thatgives the body energy, vitality. As for my experience, it was a "vice" that could be sacrificed.
It also has connotations of vice and sin, even in ancient paintings of still life of sugar and sweets had linked to the religious symbolism, unearthly, sacrum.
I want to play with this double meaning where the woman inserted the image also appears as a female object. I will create a contrast of meaning, which I rejected now surrounds me and covers my body.
