Berlin-based Australian artist Joseph Marr creates beautiful sculptures made entirely out of crystallized sugar.
Inspired by classical marble art pieces, Marr’s preserved sugar works are created in various flavors and colors.
With his provocative candy creations—that are both lifelike and akin to the giant marble sculptures carved in the Renaissance era—he hopes to comment on the human feelings of lust and desire.
“Any desire at all is the reason why our soul is trapped in the karmic lessons of our ego,” he said. “Candy is a wonderful medium to show two things… how we are trapped in the sticky situation and how attractive the tasty desire really is.”
