    Sweets Portraits by Photographer James Ostrer

    Photographer James Ostrer documents our obsession with sugar in a series of grotesque real life portraits of people covered in layers of sweets and junk food. Speaking largely on the to the global food production and increasingly dangerous methods of mass production, Ostrer’s photographs conjure tribal images that are both fascinating and repulsive. Via the press release, “This adornment becomes a mask of what we eat which then becomes entwined with a hyper-pop sensibility and an obsequious inquiry into the great volumes of sugar that flow through our bodies.”

    Artist Camila Valdez, Sweet Tooth and Legs.

    Camila Valdez’s series Sweet Tooth and Legs exists in a world where food becomes character and humor carries a sharp, knowing edge. Based in Argentina, Valdez creates surreal figures that feel playful at first glance, then quietly subversive the longer you sit with them. Each piece presents a small edible form paired with human legs, posed with an attitude that feels deliberate, expressive, and unmistakably self aware.
