To eat is to appropriate by destruction

Under the title “Devour” and supported by Jean-Paul Sartre’s quote: “To eat is to appropriate by destruction”, Norwegian photographer Christopher Jonassen turns worn-out frying pans turn into stars and planets.
Inspired by battered kitchen utensils in his shared home while studying abroad in Australia, he explains the celestial connection as a means to create a link between the tiny marks we leave behind everyday to the enormous impact this adds up to over time.
