For paintings from this series, I have accumulated photos that colleagues, friends, and family have been asked to snap of foods and items they have stocked, including their domestic and refrigerator interiors.This painting considers vanitas in a modern conceit, reflecting on the Covid-19 pandemic. In a traditional sense, vanitas alludes to themes of plague, desperation, dehumanization, and loss. Recently, I find elements of vanitas in my everyday surroundings, from the foods I wash in my sink to the items I stock in my freezer box.
