The Spicyness is Visible, the Taste is Imagined 🔥

Often, beauty in photography does not have to come from exotic places or spectacular views. Sometimes, it emerges from the little things that we often overlook, such as a pack of instant noodles that I hold while taking a break from my routine.

I captured the iconic Indomie Mi Goreng Pedas packaging using a smartphone camera. The bright red color and striking graphic design seem to have become part of the collective memory. This photo is not just a documentation of the packaging but also a cultural portrait, because instant noodles have become part of many people's lives, either as emergency food, a friend to stay up late, or just a nostalgic snack.

In addition to capturing the inside of the package, I also captured the texture of the uncooked dry noodles. The spiral lines, rough but regular, create a unique visual pattern. The natural light coming in from the side emphasizes these shapes, giving them character and depth. This is a form of visual storytelling from the busy and striking outside, to the plain but detailed inside.

Note: I am writing in Indonesian and using the help of Google translate to translate into English.
