Chewing gum is a material that you can form and shape. No chewing gum will be the same after being used up, I consider myself an author who unconsciously creates a unique work. The shape of my teeth impressed in the gum indicates that it is my trace, which means the form is already personal and refers to me.
The impressed teeth show that I am the author of the work. Gum symbolises a small piece of myself, and by presenting it to the recipient, I share myself. I think that chewing a gum is a very intimate action, so sharing this experience is a kind of transgression. The heart-shaped form is meant to refer to praline as a delicacy, and serving it on a tray suggests that it is an exquisite thing. People give pralines and chocolates as presents, so I deliberately chose this form to encourage the recipient to reach for my gift. However, what it really contains, is a used-up chewing gum immersed in resin that is no longer usable. This is a kind of joke. Everyone can decide whether they want to accept a ‘small piece of me’ or not.
