Talktime

Marinaressa Gardens, Venice, Italy, 2019

Del Monte, Bukidnon, Philippines, 2023

Art has the power to bring people together, and Talktime embodies this beautifully. Created on a large scale to leave a lasting impact, this bronze sculpture is designed to age gracefully—becoming a timeless piece that future generations can inherit. At its core, Talktime explores conversation, relationships, and the passage of time. The two interwoven forms, representing a fruit and a spice, symbolise the deep cultural and historical connections that food fosters across generations and traditions.

Having traveled from the Marinaressa Gardens in Venice to the Del Monte pineapple gardens in Bukidnon, Philippines, Talktime continues to engage viewers in new settings, inviting them to connect and spark meaningful dialogue wherever it is displayed. More than just a sculpture, it is a conversation piece—one that bridges time, place, and culture.
