Artist Statement: “How can we purchase a pineapple for 89 cents?” It really makes you think about the potential for exploitation & the difficulties in regulation of our global food system. Until we cast a critical eye on this phenomenon, we will not truly recognize the inequalities in current access to food & fair farming.
