Fireball: a challenging hot candy

Anyone who grew up in your 1980s undoubtedly knows the fireball. It was a challenge to keep this hot candy in your mouth until it ran out. Your head took on the color of the candy, namely bright red! Once you got used to the heat, you also happily tasted the cinnamon flavor, the only tasty thing about this challenging candy. And at the end, you were rewarded with a chewing gum located in the candy’s core.

The fireball served as the starting point for the wall object Fireball that I made especially for the summer exhibition Los & Vast at Sille Gallery.

The two parts that make up this wall object are connected by brass rods, as if they were chewing gum threads.
