Bread
2025

Bread creates a self-referential paradox using bread as both material object and textual definition. The bread becomes its own ingredient list—simultaneously a material object and a textual definition; simultaneously a tangible substance and an abstract symbol.

Through this work, a fundamental question is explored: What happens when something becomes its own description? Can art exist purely independently without pointing to or depicting any external things?
