This installation embodies transparency and appetite—not only in the physical act of consuming food, but also in the broader sense of human longing and existential truth. The brightly painted concrete food items symbolizing the turbulent mix of emotions within us. Drawing from the Chinese philosophical concept of 七情六欲 (Seven Emotions and Six Desires), the work reflects on the universality of human emotions and desires, likening them to the sustenance our stomachs carry.
