Roots (Series)
DESCRIPTION
"Roots" is one of Nando Esteva's personal projects, in which he explores the pairing gastronomy-culture through the prime food item.
It is an exercise of visual poetry formed by eight photographs in which ancestral traces tinge the imagined skin of the vegetal.
Thus, the tattoo on the food item represents the cultural charge we receive in our dishes, its identity, its message.
When cuisine becomes art, we start reflecting on the symbolic value of its components.
