In Alpha Bucatini, I reimagine the classic, commercial trope of pasta twirled on a fork, an image rooted in nourishment, domesticity, and desire while substituting it with something far more contemporary: a tangled audio cable. This substitution turns the familiar into the uncanny, confronting our modern appetite not for food, but for constant connectivity. The cord, tightly wound around the tines, mimics the comforting curves of bucatini yet represents a tether to devices, to distractions, to digital life.

The bold, saturated purple background returns to a visual language I’ve used before, one that is playful, punchy, and unmistakably synthetic. This use of color serves to heighten the surreal, commercial gloss of the image by blurring the line between product photography and pop art. It’s stylized, intentional, and self aware.

With Alpha Bucatini, I question what we consume and what consumes us. The fork becomes not just a utensil, but a vessel of commentary on nostalgia, design, and on our daily entanglement with the digital world.
