Piece of Bread

2025

Piece of Bread traces back to a childhood memory of visiting the market with my mother every Sunday morning. As a child experiencing the market for the first time, I was fascinated by its mixture of cultures, exchanges, and conversations—a place constantly in motion and full of life. What stayed with me most were its urban elements: what enters the market, what accumulates, and what remains over time.

This sense of coexistence became a starting point for exploring the supermarket as both a social and architectural space. Through photography, I strip away the noise and movement of the market to create a quieter environment in which architecture can come to life.

The supermarket becomes a lens through which to reconsider how architectural typologies might respond to a rapidly changing climate. Often reduced to mundane big-box structures, supermarkets are embedded within a food system that, despite its efficiency and convenience, remains precarious, opaque, and environmentally damaging.

Piece of Bread therefore approaches the supermarket not simply as a building, but as an interface within a wider network of people, resources, infrastructures, and ecological systems—inviting us to imagine how these familiar spaces might be transformed for a more sustainable future.
