Description:
Larger than life depiction of licorice allsorts with reflection against multilayered negative space background. Something sweet tempts in the infinite darkness.
Notes:
The negative space background is built up from multiple layers, like a Rothko. This gives it more depth and perhaps more spiritual significance than just darkness. The foreground is an unnaturally large depiction of candies, an almost universal temptation. Are they just sweet and good? Why are they lined up and falling down? Does it make you want to grab one?
