Profile 2019
You never know how strange sweetness might taste for your palate. My artwork takes a joyful view of how taste can be different through cultural habits. Also, explore the materiality of jewellery by relating it to the concept. This work is based on a personal experience that I had when I moved to Australia, and I find out all the foods taste sweet for me. Tongues are not the big part of the body that you notice them very often however it gives all different senses of the tastes. Taste can change and grow inside the body and transform the body.
I made two tongues, one is sweet, and the other one is sour, which refer to different cultural taste. Also, drops that are made out of brass and placed on the body as a brooch. That reproduce a visual sense of how sweetness takes all over the body and changed the taste.
