See it on a wall

An empty, slightly crumpled Twix wrapper drawn near 1:1 — foil highlights, twisted ends and tiny creases rendered with photographic precision on grey toned paper. Dated and signed.

Why this work

Discarded packaging rendered with complete reverence is a contemporary form of memento mori — the most disposable object in a household given the kind of slow, patient looking once reserved for saints and kings.
