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 political charge.
