For this series, I constructed the story of Hansel and Gretel out of food for my Photography III class. The assignment was to recreate an old Brothers Grimm Fairytale and make it your own. I decided to retell the story by using food because there are a lot of food references in Hansel and Gretel.

I used small potatoes for Hansel and Gretel to represent the poor family they came from. The witch is an onion because she is old and has bad eye sight. The witch’s house and surroundings is constructed out of candy with bright colors to lure the children into her house. The series contains nine images that give the main highlights of the Grimm Fairytale.
