About this artwork
Inside a box with a velvet lined interior, we have a concrete cake. This work deals with what is solidly consolidated and that cannot or cannot be shared and / or shared.
The whole context of the contrast between the concrete cake and the packaging, which implies a preciousness that must be maintained, represents the selfishness of not wanting to share or not being able to share.
A play on words and definitions also provokes reflection. The… cake can be interpreted in the literal sense of the word, as a food that can be served to more than one person, usually being used in a fraternization between friends, which encourages sharing. But, by being represented specifically, it clearly shows the intention that this not happen. It can also, symbolically, represent a sum of money that will not be divided or shared.
