“Empty Calories captures the quiet aftermath of indulgence: a discarded fries carton, crumpled and empty, transformed into something unexpectedly compelling. The painting turns an everyday object into a reflection on consumption, craving, and fleetingness. Playful yet thought-provoking, it invites us to consider what remains once the moment of satisfaction has passed.”

I bought and ate the fries in this carton. They were not as fresh as they could have been! Which somewhat reinforced the point of the piece…

The deep edge canvas is painted on the sides, so is ready to hang.
