What I Eat In A Day approaches eating as a metaphor, focusing on what the modern individual consumes beyond food in everyday life. The series reveals a state of mental and emotional saturation rather than physical hunger.
In a contemporary context where the need for safety is tied to the pressure to adapt, the individual is constantly called to move and change. Consumption becomes not only a necessity, but a condition of staying present. Alongside food, images, information, and expectations are continuously absorbed.
The meals in the series represent not a biological need, but the rhythm of a system that demands continuity. The priority is not to be fulfilled, but to keep going. Within this structure shaped by competition, anxiety becomes a persistent companion, and consumption functions as a temporary relief.
As David Le Breton suggests in Anthropology of the Body and Modernity, the body in the modern world shifts from being a site of experience to a project that must be managed and controlled. What I Eat In A Day reflects on what the individual is exposed to throughout the day, and how they attempt to cope with this accumulation.
