All That Is Solid

Installation 140×140 cm, 2300 kilo of sugar, glucose and food coloring

(all the ingredients where tested and approved by the ecologists of Staatsbosbeheer)

I placed a large ball made of sugar in a nature reserve. The ball slowly started to transform, being eroded by the rain, and eaten by insects.  

Made for Into Nature Drenthe 2021
