rising nourishmen.t

rising nourishmen.t examines the cultural expectations surrounding women’s labor, care, and nourishment through the lens of food, domesticity, and gendered performance. Drawing from the picket fence, household tools, articles of care, and personal experience, the work explores how acts of caregiving are both expressions of love and systems of expectation. Familiar domestic forms become sites of inquiry – functioning as instructions and cultural narratives, revealing assumptions about who provides care, whose labor is valued, and how identity is shaped through service to others. By bringing together humor, critique, and personal reflection, rising nourishmen.t considers nourishment as something that extends beyond basic needs to include emotional, social, and cultural sustenance.
