Familiar within Afro-Caribbean and\u003cbr\u003eLatin American kitchens, the plátano becomes both cultural symbol and\u003cbr\u003esculptural form—honored for its beauty, texture, and presence.\u003cbr\u003ePart of the ongoing Bodega Foods Series, the work reflects the artist’s\u003cbr\u003ememories of visiting neighborhood bodegas with her grandmother in\u003cbr\u003eBrooklyn, where food carried the feeling of home across generations and\u003cbr\u003eborders. The plantains appear suspended within a soft monochromatic\u003cbr\u003efield, inviting viewers to consider the intimacy held within ordinary objects.\u003cbr\u003eLayers of translucent fabric, resin, thread, and pigment create a soft\u003cbr\u003eatmospheric surface that recalls domestic textiles, preservation, and ritual\u003cbr\u003eadornment. Through stillness and simplicity, the work resists disposability\u003cbr\u003eand instead offers food as portraiture—alive with memory, migration, and\u003cbr\u003edevotion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicoletta Daríta de la Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44092622110763,"sku":null,"price":2750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1817\/6043\/files\/BODEGAFOODS_Quenepas.jpg?v=1779296633","url":"https:\/\/scout.artscape.org\/products\/quenepas-no-2-bodega-foods-series","provider":"SCOUT Art Fair","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
