P12–2024. PASTABILITIES W/ ATSO SHURHOZELIE
Pastabilities is a research project realized in collaboration with Atso Shurhozelie during her internship at CRSL. All photographs are by our sister company Food Pirate Studios.
The concept of this project involves the utilization of imperfect vegetables to infuse in the creation fresh pasta. The central theme of this concept is to fight food waste and it’s structured around the four seasons. It focuses on vegetables that are either bountiful and prone to having irregular shapes during each respective season, transforming visually unappealing products into something beautiful. Thereby turning the “ugly” into something aesthetically pleasing and delicious.

Summer Waves: swirls of pasta recall the waves of the summer sea, enriched with tomatoes and aubergine for a refreshing and salty experience.
