Let them eat sweets... (Avoidance 1 of 8)

In times when everything becomes too much, I have episodes of depression and feel there is no more hope or motivation, so I EAT… The hardy candy and the lollipops in this sculptural cube embody the type of food I stuff my face within these trying times. Binge eating is a coping mechanism, it’s something I’m not allowed to do. I eat everything and anything I can find, as a way to distract myself from my current situation, from my diseased body, from my sobbing sessions. A way to avoid the pain, the misery and my own thoughts.
