In the intimate confines of my kitchen lies a pantry, a small but meaningful space dedicated to packed groceries. Amid the act of archiving and scanning objects, I began reflecting on the foods that bring joy to me and my family. The food items I chose to scan hold a duality—they are a source of deep delight, yet they sit outside the boundaries of what I "should" consume as someone managing PCOS. In creating this work, I sought to reclaim pleasure through the process of art-making, using the scanner as a tool of both documentation and transformation. This project is deeply entwined with the cultural milieu of Punjab, where I live, and where snacks and rich foods are not just sustenance but emblems of community, celebration, and identity. Beyond the immediate, it reflects on India's celebrated culinary heritage—a long and intricate history of recipes, flavors, and rituals that bind us across generations. _My Pleasure Cupboard_ becomes a layered exploration: of personal narratives, cultural landscapes, and the intimate yet universal relationship between food and pleasure.It evokes both nostalgia and indulgence, inviting viewers into a space where the simple act of eating becomes a gateway to larger conversations about identity, health, and tradition. Like the fleeting joy of a favorite snack, the work exists as a moment of pause—a celebration of the everyday pleasures that sustains us.
