The tray belongs to a period of convalescence, when each hospital meal became an accidental composition—a chromatic sequence shaped by the protocols of the Spanish public health system. What could have been pure routine appeared instead as a daily score of colour, texture, and arrangement, revealing the aesthetics embedded in institutional care. Documenting those plates turned the hospital into a studio and the act of eating into a quiet ritual of observation. The series stands as a gratitude piece: an acknowledgement that the public system, through its structured simplicity, produces forms of dignity that become visible only when we take the time to look.
