Description:
Pork Chops with Iced Tea captures the quiet power of a Southern kitchen – a space filled with warmth, labor, and unspoken stories. A figure prepares a meal for someone else, their hands moving with practiced grace as the air hums with heat, memory, and the scent of fried pork chops. A glass of iced tea, sweating on the table, becomes a symbol of what is offered, what is received, and what remains unseen. Through layered texture and gesture, the piece reflects the closeness of service, the distance of power, and the weight of quiet moments that shape a shared history.
