Onion Skin: A Haiku + a little lagniappe
Imposter Syndrome
Layers On Soft Brittle Tears
Peel That S**t Back Sis
Imposter syndrome
Kinda reminds me of onion skin
The way it covers you
Holding tight
Keeping the sweetest parts of us
SAFE within
That aint safety Sis
Thats Soft Brittle Doubt
That When Peeled Away
Releases A Sweetness That The Pot Always Needed..........................
I've been exploring food waste as both medium and muse. Imagining whispy garments fashioned from delicate onion skin and elaborate sculptures of fish skeletons and chicken feathers.
The United States discards more food than any other country in the world: nearly 60 million tons (120 billion pounds ) every year. Estimated to be almost 40 percent of the entire US food supply. While people go hungry and the planet suffocates. Have you ever taken the time to think about how much food you throw away?
