Four years ago I created this series for NatGeo 'Imperfect food is beautiful'.
Every day people trow away a lot of food: imperfect, expired.. Unfortunately, mostly, it ends in the trash depot. Using my imagination,I decided to present a different but also artsy vision of this theme and to show that the ugly food could be artsy. I asked in several stores if they could give some food that they are ready to trow away.
Than my mind creates an idea: I focused on the complimentary colors, I bought a colorful paper to use as a background, some decorations,I painted a kitchen set and the old pasta.
