Lusciously ambiguous. I think there are tasty meats in there and some shoppers but not too sure. The hog, living or dead, is clearly disdainful of it all. 7
The B&W tones and the details are great - I must admit that the title confuses me a bit as to how exactly it relates to the imagery. I see the reflections of people on the glass which makes me think of a day at the market. That is the daily 'ritual' I see here - shopping for food. I can almost hear the chatter and sounds of a very busy open air market where one can buy food from plums, to fish to a pigs head and feet. It is a shame that the reflections are not a little more clearer to show facial expressions on the people for that would have been an added bene.
