The Judging Scale of Sweetness

More about The Judging Scale of Sweetness

Whipped towers tremble,
angry dial weighs the sugar,
joy fights bitter guilt.

A surreal watercolor of a kitchen scale judging indulgence. Cupcakes with whimsical cream toppings sit on either side, alongside a turtle-shaped pastry. Above, an angry emoji face glares, symbolizing society’s anxious balance between pleasure, guilt, and control.

Artistic Statement: The work fuses surrealist irony with pop culture. The emoji transforms functional measurement into judgment, recalling Dada absurdity and contemporary visual satire. Coffee-stain chaos contrasts delicate watercolor precision, creating a tension between humor and unease.

Influencing artists: René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, Claes Oldenburg, Wayne Thiebaud, Takashi Murakami
