In this solo exhibition, under the theme of "Sweets Sentiment" for the Valentine's Day White Day season, the scene of a dinner party where cake candle stands and sweet plates are lined up will be reproduced as a new installation. The exhibition is filled with delicious sweets such as chocolate, macaroons, cookies, cream and strawberries, which stimulates the five senses and brings back happy memories of eating dessert.
