About the Award-Winning Artwork: "Will Dance For Food"

"Will Dance For Food" is a deeply personal and thought-provoking 1/1 artwork that explores themes of hunger, inequality, and societal neglect. Its title - an ironic plea for sustenance - underscores the desperation faced by those whose basic needs go unmet, contrasting the abundance of privilege with the harsh realities of deprivation.

The inspiration for this piece comes from my time working at a hostel in Guatemala, where I earned just $2 per hour. Guests often left behind untouched meals, yet I witnessed a glaring disparity: two individuals responsible for distributing leftovers consistently overlooked me, despite my clear need. Even lighthearted remarks about my hunger were ignored. This experience profoundly shaped my understanding of inequality and inspired the emotional core of this piece.

I also drew from Shigeru Mizuki’s poignant words: “I feel the most sorry for the ones who starved to death. I’ll never get over that feeling.” These words echo throughout the artwork, emphasizing the often-overlooked tragedy of starvation and the stark divide between casual hunger and the devastating reality of true deprivation.

"Will Dance For Food" transcends my personal story, addressing universal issues of poverty, privilege, and resilience. It challenges viewers to confront their perceptions of hunger and reflect on the empathy - or lack thereof - that defines our collective response to those in need.
