The pantry has often been seen as an extension of a woman's "place" in the home. Today, the idea of a woman’s place is increasingly seen as outdated and restrictive. The pantry can symbolize independence and self-sufficiency, reflecting both men’s and women’s abilities to sustain a household.

I hope this piece allows viewers to feel abundance and gratitude for a well-stocked pantry, along with wonder at how ordinary objects, like jars and cans, can be transformed into art and hold unexpected beauty.
