The theme of my semester project is based on the preliminary design and research for my master work. My thesis focuses on one of the most fundamental and widespread types of eating disorders, anorexia nervosa, and in my master work, I help visualise the relationship between anorexic patients and food and eating through an absurd set of objects, a sort of “tableware”. My goal is to explore the psychological processes that occur within individuals with anorexia in relation to eating, as well as to increase the sensitivity of society to the topic, draw attention to the severity of the problem, and encourage people to approach those struggling with this condition with empathy.
