“Winnie the Pooh, a figure of innocence and comfort, is transformed into a mechanical, almost industrial entity. His overturned honey pot evokes both excess and overconsumption, highlighting our relationship with instant gratification and mass-produced goods. His robotic appearance questions the transformation of our emotional symbols into mere merchandising objects. Synthetic Sweetness exposes how even the purest emotion can be standardized and industrialized, to the point of losing its original essence.”
