In her project entitled Miam (yummy), the gallery is transformed into a domestic environment where the artist - turned witch - makes objects out of sugar. In an effort to illustrate the ritual of consumption, the sugar moulds will be displayed on the outside walls of the building. Miam is a regular child’s haven, a world stimulated by imagination, fantasy and fable. The visitor finds himself surrounded by memories of lost dreams where feelings of happiness and greed obstruct its underlying reality. In this work, the theme of the gift is linked to desire, a sentiment where pleasure and deception often collide. Notions such as prohibition, liberty, refusal and acceptance are all displayed throughout the gallery. Here, the idea of the gift refers to a notion less romantic and less seductive. Although the gift is very real, it remains something quite perverse.
