In this project, I want to explore the relationship between the artist and the artwork. I see my body as a part of the sculpture and the earth as the pedestal. I melted sugar and mold it into the shape of the canopy of an umbrella and used my old umbrella frame to support it. I then walked in the rain holding this “umbrella” made of sugar. As the sugar canopy melted onto my body, I slowly became a part of the work and this whole moving entity became my “sculpture”.
