NADA Curated by Fitsum Shebeshe

“Mommy, can I eat it if it’s organic?” is a text-based artwork made from children’s fuse beads, set against a background pattern of green apple symbols—a reference to the organic label and digital consumer culture. The piece explores how the internet has given us unlimited access to information as well as misinformation. The question, asked by Deniz’s own child, highlights the confusion surrounding health and nutrition. By using a playful yet fragile medium, Deniz critiques the paradox of an “organic” economy where processed, unhealthy foods are branded as wholesome, exposing the complexities of modern consumerism.
