Final Project

I finally know what I'm doing for my final project! It's not even that good of an idea, but at least it's SOMETHING!

For a long time I've felt that eating and sex are two of the most surreal things that people do with their bodies. We shove mass amounts of material into our mouths several times a day, sometimes for reasons other than simple nourishment. If you ever watch a person eating, I can almost guarantee that eventually you will become horribly uncomfortable with what you're seeing. To me the very sight of a person inserting God knows what--in most cases something that, one some level, was once alive--into themselves, moving their teeth and jaws in order to mash the stuff into a mushy, salivary substance suitable for passing through the gullet seems much more surreal than most people.

Similarly, sex is weird. I don't think I have to go too much into that.

Thus, for my final project, I would like to depict people eating food that evokes a feeling of discomfort upon observation. I won't do anything blatant and lame like a girl licking a Popsicle or eating a banana. I may, however, use items equated with sex in the construction of the photograph. The first thing that comes to mind is a dental dam used as a napkin. Stuff like that.

I more than likely won't be changing much of this, as it took me three weeks to come up with this.
