Trails of Food is a collection of six 13x19-inch photographs that look at food before and after interaction. Some pictures show food that hasn't been touched, while others highlight the leftovers from eating, like crumbs, smudges, stains, and moved utensils. Together, these photos show how our daily actions leave behind small but important signs of our presence. The artwork uses simple layouts, gentle natural light, and limited colors to focus on tiny details that we often miss. By taking away extra visual distractions, each picture helps us notice the textures, marks, and traces left on plates and surfaces. These details act as quiet reminders of eating habits, and routines. Each plate hints at what will be eaten, thrown away, or remembered, creating a feeling of tension between what we expect and what happens after. This series highlights the everyday rituals of eating and the physical signs they leave behind. Instead of showing people, the photos use absence to suggest presence. The leftovers from a meal stand in for the human body, letting viewers picture the actions that took place just out of sight. With this method, Trails of Food changes familiar scenes into thoughtful studies of closeness, routine, and the fleeting nature of life.
