Cecilia Corzo + Nikka “Sweet Universe”
Foil Gallery
This event has ended.
Contemporary civilisation has stopped looking up at the messages from the universe. There are children from this era that have never seen a starry night sky. The earliest civilizations observed the heavens because the Sun, Moon and stars gave indication of coming seasons; the sky aided in navigation, it gave signs of life, war, earthquakes, the fate of kingdoms and more. People had a closer connection with the universe back then. Cecilia Corzo hopes for people to have a temporary and contemporary ‘sweet’ connection with the universe through the common life experience of eating sweets, believing that a universe is contained in each piece of wagashi (Japanese sweet).
In collaboration with Nikka, Cecilia Corzo has designed a series of wagashi with each one conveying awareness of different elements of our universe. Also presented is a series of photographs of each designed wagashi.
