Candy

"Candy" goes beyond its playful surface to convey deeper themes of desire, indulgence, and nostalgia. The candy figures serve as a metaphor for the pursuit of instant gratification and the temptation to seek happiness in fleeting pleasures. The title, "Candy" hints at insatiable cravings and the endless quest for fulfillment. The backdrop of multiple colored lines suggests a chaotic and dynamic world, where the pursuit of pleasure is intertwined with a sense of confusion and disarray. The lines may symbolize the various paths and choices we encounter in life, each leading to its own array of indulgences and distractions.
