Foodxury—
Side project
︎ Context
It’s ironic that in New York —the city with the highest index of food waste in the world— 60.144 homeless people struggle to eat every day.
Foodxury is a project that illustrates this problem. A jewelry collection that exposes what food means to an alarming number of people.
FOOD BECOMES A LUXURY WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE IT.

FOOD BECOMES A LUXURY WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE IT.
︎ How it works
Each piece of jewelry represents a meal that a regular person has on a daily basis.
In the first stage of the project I provided the homeless with a cardboard stand containing jewelry pieces to be traded for each real meal.
Now I donate whole collections to Foundations like “Fundacion Leando Olmos” for them to exchange the pieces for donations or auction them in events to raise funds
