What Taste Do You Wear

what taste do you wear

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.
