This edible artwork is inspired by the ceramic sculpture made by French artist Chole Sontrop. I felt this piece has a deep connection to the current situation the world is facing.

We have barricaded ourselves from the world, self-isolation for self-preservation. Boxed in and reminiscing those carefree days of past and looking forward fiercely to enjoy the caress of the sun and open smiles of people.

The feel of clay modelling is brought out by the row-rough textured finish attained using ANNA AUSTIN Modelling Paste. Mask is added as a metaphor of the ongoing predicament.
