The Last Meal Project is a personal project that reimagines death-row last meals for cockroaches in NYC.




In many U.S. states where the death penalty is still legal, it's customary to offer death-row inmates a special last meal of their choice.

Meanwhile, in New York City, there are way too many cockroaches, and I hate them more than I probably should. So we created a series of miniature last meals, made of real food and lightly seasoned with pesticides, then placed near trash piles, alley corners, and other places cockroaches like to show up. Each meal was inspired by the actual last meals of infamous death-row inmates.
