The flattened forms of the mandarine skins were transferred and cut from pink coated leather. By sewing the cut patterns together, the already long digested mandarine was reconstructed. The ball was filled, then coated with latex. Now, the pink balls are soft and fleshy, the seam like a scar.
Visually the balls differ from the original mandarines. It is expected to hold the balls, quite literally, to hold onto the original form of the mandarines. It’s the embodiment of a gesture.
