Tea Bags

Internationally acclaimed photographer Abraham Menashe, collected a variety of tea bags and photographed them alone and in pairs, molding some into body parts, and others into figures to embody the dance of courtship and union.  


The photographs are an affirmation of intimacy, celebrating the music of a lover's body and illustrate the nuances inherent in relationships. Here,  tea bags express joy, seduction, heartbreak, coitus, pregnancy, birth, and family. This series is followed by a second sequence that portrays tea bags as botanical specimens.


Menashe invites readers to journey with these forty-three tea bags, delight in their whimsical transformations, and let each of the forty-three images be an inkblot for a vivid imagination.
