This project explores the shared conditions of discipline, selection, and consumption imposed
on both women’s bodies and fruits within systems of commodification, through the concept
of the “inedible.” Using the apple as a central metaphor, I combine textile-made female bodily
forms with participatory carving and ritualistic hanging. Participants are invited to carve onto
apples the traits they were once asked to hide, correct, or change. As the apples oxidize, these
marks become irreversible traces of lived experience, transforming commodified objects into inedible symbols of resistance, and asserting a reclaiming of bodily autonomy through an
ecofeminist lens.
