Site of Containment treats gelatin as more than food, it is a material of control, clarity, and quiet instruction. Transparent, molded, and set, it mirrors how women’s labor and lives were shaped, preserved, and made palatable within the domestic sphere.
Through images and cultural history, the book traces how moments of agency gave way to retrenchment, where convenience masked constraint. What jiggles on the plate becomes a record of what was held in place, and who was asked to remain still.
