In this body of work I utilize different lens-based, and printing techniques to make images about my emotional relationship with diners, the role they played in how I view food in relation to watching other people eat as well as the painful comfort I find in this specific space. I made three groups of eight sequential images of hands interacting with food and objects most commonly found in diners. The images were then printed as a deeply saturated black and white as means to abstract the images and make the food look unappealing, a nod to the ways in which diners affected the way I viewed, consumed, and avoided food in my adolescence and adulthood. The images are accompanied by a sound piece that captures dialogue between myself, my mother, my aunt, and my grandmother (three generations of disordered thoughts and relationships to food) sitting in a diner and the accompanying sounds of the space. The audio layers, distorts, and becomes unintelligible to parallel my wandering and overwhelmed thoughts when eating in a setting with the same people that ruined it for me.
