Collection

SICK SAD WORLD

Upon realizing the physical and spiritual consequences of my sugar addiction, I was compelled to start a collection.

Through this collection, I aim to capture the essence of how desserts can evoke memories of carefree childhoods and provide psychological relief from the pressures of modern life. The connection between sweets and sexual undertones was a topic of fascination in my research.

Image: The action of licking candies such as lollipops or sugar rings and terms like "sugar dates" are also associated with sex.

Image: Drugs can be deceptively packaged to resemble sugar, potentially leading to harmful consequences for consumers.
