Take Away

Take Away reflects on the excesses of everyday life through the lens of plastic and paper consumption, as shaped by the takeaway industry. Using a street-found scanner and cameraless photography, I explore the aesthetics of reuse—transforming disposable food containers into vessels that hold intimate traces of domestic life. These images reveal containers repurposed as everyday storage—archiving small, personal materials like medication, herbs, tea leaves, and hair. These objects speak to care, routine, and personal history. The physicality of the work extends into the paper itself: each print is made on handmade paper created from recycled takeaway menus collected over time. Bits of herbs, strands of hair, and fragments of paper—materials found in the scanned compositions—are embedded into the pulp, producing textured, uneven, and tactile surfaces. This merging of image and material dissolves the boundary between object and representation. Each sheet is unique, carrying its own weight, scent, and texture—echoing the layered, personal nature of what’s being archived. Take Away invites the viewer to slow down and engage with these overlooked materials, questioning how we assign value and how we might live in more cyclical, conscious ways.
