Capstone project examining American identity through the lens of food. I curated articles and images to create a narrative about the connection between American food culture and our country’s social and political institutions—from obsession with fast food to the last meals on death row.
By taking a closer look at the food we eat, Food Court begins to explore the full picture of America: an often messy and unglamorous melting pot of beauty and brutality.

Tasked with building a web-based typeface from pure code, I built the pepperoni-slice-esque modules of each letterform with CSS and allowed the user to change the height, width, and border radius by moving the cursor around the screen. I hoped to explore randomness and infinite variability within a system.
