Please

This blackout poetry piece features six black and white photographs showing various stages of a formal dining experience. The images are arranged in a grid, depicting hands manipulating cutlery, plates, and glasses on lace placemats. Between and below the photos are strips of text, mostly blacked out, with only a few words left visible. The visible words include "please", "help", and "eat".
