If we all are indeed what we eat, then surely our refrigerators are a kind of canvas of selfhood—a place where we reveal ourselves by the kind
of food we keep. That was the idea, anyway, when Mark Menjivar
started photographing these spaces for his series “You Are What You
Eat” in 2007. Menjivar spent almost four years on the project, traveling
to 20 communities throughout the United States and peeking in the
refrigerators of 60 people in an effort to explore the intersection
between eating habits and identity.
