“ A MARTINI’S DREAM”

ORIGINAL, BY: SOPHIE SLOTNIK 3/20/24

A whimsical color pencil rendering exploration of scale and excess, where the typical tiny garnish takes the focal point.

This artwork challenges conventional food proportions, swapping the expected role of centerpiece. A massive olive, stuffed with a cocktail garnish, precariously balanced with a cocktail garnish is stacked, overpowering the burger flipping the food norms. This piece speaks to society's fascination with exaggerated culinary trends. By manipulating the size and scale the composition forces the viewer to reflect how we balance and indulgence in what we consume.
