When we perceive a still life, we do not bring much emotion to it because we're looking at something inanimate. Through transforming the controversial subject of meat into an elegant tea set, I want to use this impassible attitude to contrast with the "controversial". When humans eat meat, we are employing a kind of subconscious avoidance, ignoring the facts behind where and how the meat came to the table. In this very same way, we can avoid other serious issues in the world, and sit quietly to enjoy our peaceful afternoon tea.
