This exhibition aims to raise consciousness around food waste and its role in our home.

More than 50% of the food Canadian households throw out could be eaten. Instead, those millions of tonnes of edible food is left to spoil, unseen and forgotten in the back of our fridges, freezers, and pantries, turning the world’s resources into waste.

S. Maria Brandt is a German-raised Croatian multidisciplinary artist working primarily lens-based in Ottawa, Canada. Her works meditate on the perishable and the fears of aging and dying, whether she visually processes food, people, random objects, or architecture.
