Eat Your Feelings: Quarantine Art Book

In an effort to deliver taste-related experiences, I decided to reimagine the process of “consuming” a book. Using popsicles to package my personal thoughts, the user tastes and considers which flavor matches with which feeling. Initial guesses are recorded in an accompanying pamphlet. As the user continues to eat, the emotion association printed on the popsicle stick is slowly revealed.
