Photographer from Norwegian Christopher Jonassen, who specializes in art photography, has created a very unusual and interesting photo project called Devour ("Absorption").

Devour is a collection of Christopher's photographs, which is a series of shots of the bottoms of old pots and pans. The uniqueness of this project lies in the fact that, despite the familiarity and banality of the subject, the author manages to touch (literally) global problems. He photographed hundreds of pots and pans for several years, all the while improving his technique and skills. Work on the project continues, Christopher is so carried away by it that he still continues to shoot.

All the pots used in the project were not subjected to any specific processing, the photos fully reflect their natural appearance.

The only thing Jonassen did was rub in oil to improve the texture. Otherwise, the master relied only on well-installed lighting.

Perhaps the most striking thing about these photos is that the kitchen pots we see every day can look like planets and the moon. As the author of the works himself says, this effect was created unintentionally. "I found that every pan is more or less like a planet," says Jones. — This similarity was there initially, I didn't use graphic methods to create such an effect."

Jonassen started working on the project, just interested in different patterns on the surface of the dishes, but gradually it turned into his lifestyle.

The photographer discovered deep philosophical thoughts that he was inspired by frying pans in the process of work: "Our daily life resembles a metal frying pan — one small scratch remains forever."

He says he wants to create "a connection between the small footprint that we leave behind every day and the huge impact that he has on global things in the future." "I am very concerned about how we use our planet. Devour means greed, destruction and consumerism, which is characteristic of modern people."
