Afters: The Bittersweet Residue

Dessert imagery becomes a surface for darker narratives about appetite, comfort and destruction. Drawing from Delft ceramics, Chinoiserie and Willow pattern porcelain, the series places scenes of crisis, surveillance, conflict and collapse inside decorative tableware, turning objects of indulgence into quiet records of disorder.
