THE JOYS OF EATING is a series of illustrations from Alessandra Cupani’s thesis work. Here are a select few from that exhibition. Inspired by child-like illustration, this series highlights the emotional connections we have with food—whether through nostalgia, the pleasure of flavor, or the chemical responses in our brains. By challenging the ingrained narratives of diet culture, Alessandra seeks to showcase the pure joy of eating, free from shame. Her artwork invites viewers to embrace their relationship with food, promoting a message of positivity and celebration around the shared experience of dining.
