The phrase "You are What You Eat" is a phrase thrown around a lot, but do we actually know what we are eating? These sculptures are inspired by the use of chemicals and GMOs in our food. The sculptures are two bodies with heads of a bee and a spray bottle to fit the phrase. they are placed on plates used for food and surrounded by utensils. The bee has two forks beside it representing an easier meal while the spray bottle has knives, more difficult and even dangerous. The idea was to place the viewer in a decision. To eat naturally made food with the thought of a bug possible touching it or chemicals that could harm them. The answer is simple, at least in my eyes.
