Eating snacks made me feel sweet and cheerful when I was 19 years old; I weighed 115 kilograms, and then my body suffered from obesity.
Sweet Pyramid is a food sculpture I made. I used cardboard and different kinds of snacks as the model material for building up a food pyramid and used a glue gun to stick the snacks, depending on my personal snack preference.
From the nutritionists’ and families’ perspective, the food pyramid is a symbol of a healthy diet, but I always followed my happy snack pyramid. Different from the Egyptian pyramid, my unhealthy and happy memories are stored at the bottom of the snacks pyramid.
