This square sculpture shows a round black pan of cast iron containing a carrot. This carrot has been broken into pieces and laid out to resemble a break-dancing puppet. Two arms are made from the foliage stalks and a small piece of foliage serves as hair. The root has not been scraped and has an exterior that is still intact. Note the grooves and hairs. The background is black and the photo was taken from above (bird's eye view). The light comes from the left side.
My inspiration for this photo came from the dancing greens from "meet your greens". They depict greens in all their gracefulness. I chose hard and angular shapes. The carrot is a hard and firm vegetable and easy to break. Breaking the carrot gave me the idea to turn it into a break-dancing carrot. Break is literally break and breakdance is a robotic and acrobatic dance style. The cast iron pan is hard and sturdy and can get super hot when it is on the fire. This heat allows the pan to literally and figuratively make the carrot dance.
This piece would fit perfectly in an (outdoor) kitchen, restaurant, hotel, canteen, dining room, etc.
