About:
These two digital prints deconstruct their own production process. Beginning as still-life photographs of supermarket fruit, the image journeys through the digital pipeline—lens, sensor, wiring, computer components, software—until it materializes as ink on paper, hung on the wall with hooks and clips.

The deceptively simple arrangement is layered with an informational panorama that reveals the production chain’s circumstances and locations, positioning the fruit as the final eventuation of this global process. Superimposed in small type over the still-life are inscriptions including the retailer’s name and address and the primary production companies involved, tracing the artwork’s roots in today’s global economy.
