The evolution of our meat consumption, dominated by supermarkets and home delivery, has created a profound disconnect. Traditional skills like butchery or the art of cooking an animal whole are disappearing, and with them, the respect for a sacrificed life. This fork, with its varnished wooden handle, embodies this detachment: it is pierced with metal spikes, evoking the silent violence of industrial farming and the loss of consciousness that accompanies our meals. It is a decorative object with a powerful political charge.
