After Dinner

After Dinner” speaks to the playful soul of Generation Z, a Generation that thrives on sharing playful games and unrepeatable and personalized experiences. After Dinner gives tablemates the uniqueness of a taste experience to live and share.

The dessert is greedy and not forbidden and the drink accompanying the tasting gives it a healthy, purifying and detoxifying touch. The Red Thread is present in all my assignments and represents my point of view on the Generation Z.

The thread unites, since it is a recurring element, but divides, because it represents the two "faces" of the GenZ (healthy / unhealthy, traditional / innovative, local / global, perfect / imperfect). Everything is connected and enclosed in the soul of the GenZ, but everything is the opposite of everything, everything has a clear personality and identity, but everything has no identity, no label (Queer, gender fluid).

Each work presented itself and its alter ego.
