FOOD LOTTERY (PACKAGE)

In our daily life, when we buy something, sometimes there is a situation that the actual thing we buy does not match its advertising or promotional picture, and this happens mostly when we buy food products. This project is based on such a half-angry and half-happy moment, inspired by everyday food items, with some transformations based on the form or state food itself. This series of works contains six wearable jewels in six identical boxes.

“Why doesn't food we buy look like what it is presented in the pictures? This project is inspired by our everyday experience, where we encounter situations in which the actual products differ from their illustrations in advertisements. What we actually get can leave us feeling extremely disappointed like losing a food lottery. Based on this experience, a series of wearable jewellery in forms of food in unexpected conditions is developed and presented in a blind box.”
