MEDIUM: Hand Bedazzled Gumball Machine with Painted Pedestal

YEAR: 2022

The art sculpture is a whimsical and enchanting creation, enticing viewers with its vibrant and dazzling presence. Standing tall, it takes the form of a bedazzled gumball machine that captivates the eye with its myriad of colors and sparkling gemstones. Overflowing with imagination, the gumball machine is not filled with the usual assortment of candies, but instead, it houses an exquisite collection of miniature perfume bottles. A much more economically “sensible” solution for women in lieu of purchasing a full bottle of an expensive designer fragrance. The sculpture radiates a playful sophistication, inviting spectators to indulge in its olfactory delights while being spellbound by its alluring aesthetic.
