In this Feast of Restraint, the Japanese arts of Shibari & Nyotaimori, practice of serving sushi from a human body, are combined with the twist of sybmolic fruits found in the Dutch Gold Age still life paintings.

About "Feast of Restraint"
A fusion of elegance, restraint, and indulgence, this painting draws inspiration from the Japanese tradition of Nyotaimori—the art of serving food on the human body—blended with the rich symbolism of Dutch Golden Age still-life paintings. The bound legs, wrapped in intricate shibari, become both the subject and the platter, echoing themes of decadence, submission, and the fleeting nature of pleasure. The vibrant fruit, lush and inviting, contrasts with the restraint of the ropes, inviting contemplation on the tension between indulgence and control, beauty and impermanence.
Ready to hang, even without a frame.
