The expressions of patissieres resonated with me in my current state of emergence. Initially, I started this project to create functional pieces that could be easily sold for income. However, I decided to stick to my conceptual art making. I placed caterpillars and cocoons  where a functional tray would be, destroying its functionality. The hidden cocoons and caterpillars represent hope and anticipation. 
 
Cuisine is a most inspiring subject. It is an interactive, progressive, evolving and communicating factor of cultural diversification; food reflects and conveys the essence of culture.  This installation comprises 9 oversized petit fours.
