This woman is experiencing a state of synesthesia, where the real information experienced through the senses effect how other senses are perceived. At times it is evident that our senses can improve our ability to evoke experiences from our past or can provide a link between information that is only understood cognitively. In this case the sense of smell and taste inform what is being seen in the surrounding environment. The mix of feta and olive flavors in the crackers can be associated with traditional Greek cuisine, which I find reminiscent of classical Greece. After tasting the product the woman is relocated to a field where fierce Spartan warriors are about to engage in battle. Her gaze remains focused on the cracker as she sits posed like a statue at her marble table, unaware of the danger that lurks behind her. I guess you never know where you’re going to end up.
