The work deals with the artist´s esophagus stenosis, commonly known as throat stricture, which prevents swallowing in an unnoticeable way. There is scar tissue that blocks food from entering smoothly, and the natural movement of the throat, which occurs while swallowing, is negligible. It contains material gathered from platforms such as Google and Facebook. Eating appears as a certain kind of activity, neutral, happy, and most of all as an event of social gathering. The artist interviewed the doctor and the students at his school and asked questions that related to the anatomy of the throat and eating as a social activity.
