"Feast for the Eyes" is a visual exploration of the ways in which food captures our senses.

What does it mean to nourish or to seek sustenance? In contrast, what does food mean when it is able to tantalize, to be a moment that is savored, when it is able to provide us with the luxury of pleasing our senses? Feast for the Eyes is a visual exploration of the ways in which food captures our senses.
