One pot of coffee.
It's always interesting how artists can ingeniously capture compelling questions of reality that the rest of us do not often consider. For instance, if you were forced to die and were granted to ask for anything as a last meal, what would it be?
Inspired by the 70's, cheap treats, and cafeteria-quality food, Brooklyn-based photographer and chef Julia Zielger-Haynes actually re-created the meals requested by Death Row prisoners and came up with an album of haunting photos like the one displayed above. The best part I noticed was how these vibrantly colorful depictions completely contrast with the tone of her work's subject.
