Farina said the exhibition represents the “sweet” memories connected to the places she lived, such as Doha, New York, Paris and Italy.
The inspiration of the exhibition came from the observation of a growing trend: the so called Cake mania. Chocolate and sugar are used as artistic material as it is done with bronze and clay.”
