The Salt of the Earth

Daniela Elorza Ojeda

All activities around food are collective human efforts — a common space where we can benefit from the movement and exchange of ideas, experiences, cultures, people, and ingredients. In the great kitchen that is the human world, we are all the salt of the earth that makes food richer, tastier and more interesting. The senses are inherent to this culinary journey. As humans, our world, history, and memory are built upon how we experience everything through sight, taste, hearing, smell, and touch. This collection of print media has been made with the intention of inspiring a closer look at the role of food in our lives and in our human connections. Through a reflection on ordinary objects and their role in the processes of making and sharing everyday knowledge, this project celebrates how we come together around food.
