Monetary Depreciation 1 (The Chicken Plate Series)

Arranged as a clinical yet playful grid, the work repeats the circular “plate” as a stage where the chicken oscillates between whitened innocence and bruised, meat-dark vulnerability—an unsettling flip from creature to commodity. The aerial viewpoint flattens depth into diagram, while the map-like grounds in shifting greens, blues, and ochres read as a cartography of systems: markets, kitchens, cities, and appetites that quietly organize life and death. Each rotation becomes a small ritual of disorientation, suggesting how easily perception turns—how consumption can be normalized through pattern, distance, and seriality. In its cool repetition, the piece holds a moral heat: the everyday made aesthetic, and the aesthetic made culpable.
