Thinking Twice

Thinking Twice is a fine art book of photographs that presents Phyllis Crowley’s striking photographs of global food markets, where tightly framed images of fish, meat, and animal parts shift between visceral reality and luminous abstraction. Captured over a decade across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, the series invites viewers to “think twice” about beauty, consumption, and the ethics embedded in what we eat. Essays by Zachary Fine and Deborah Hesse deepen the book’s exploration of the “ugly sublime,” sustainability, and cultural context, while Crowley’s Introduction trace the origins of the work. A meditation on form, food, and the intertwined cycles of life, Thinking Twice is both unsettling and unexpectedly beautiful.
