The scene, austere and full of visual poetry, not only documents the struggle to feed a family, but also questions the dynamics of equity and sacrifice in contexts of crisis. The table, empty yet shared, stands as a metaphor for a fragile balance: the mother who shares what is insufficient, the children who learn to value the ephemeral, the daily act of surviving without surrendering dignity.

The choice of sepia not only evokes nostalgia for a more stable past, but also emphasizes the timelessness of a worsening problem. The series, created at a time of relative accessibility, takes on new layers of meaning today in the face of the worsening food crisis, reminding us that what is essential is not always tangible, but it is shared.
