Gﬂ+¢ ⌥‡ ✓< sweetness of ice cream >The sunlight nurtures sugarcane, and the sugarcane develops sweetness. The sugar
refinery produces sugar from the cane. In town, couples share ice cream made fromsugar. This work discusses “richness” around sugarcane as a centerpiece.
The cycle that embraces natural blessings and human activities has been developing
also on a level beyond the history of aggression. The abundance of sunlight on theearth is greater than all the rights that man could ever obtain, and the things andproducts that benefit from it leave their constant footprints as they continue to crosshuman borders as they please.
I have searched and collected a variety of relationships that the process of ice cream
production continues to involve.
The cultivation of sugarcane in Taiwan, for example, is being developed in close
connection with the vegetation in Taiwan; sugar refineries reflect the historical
relationship between Japan and Taiwan; and popular belief links the sweet taste of ice
cream to healing effects. In my own ice cream shop, I introduce works that incorporate
this diverse range of relationships. Visitors can enjoy self-made ice cream produced
from sugarcane, and together with the sweet ice cream, swallow up the various
relationships it involves.
It has been said that the amount of a nation’s sugar consumption indicates the degreeand richness of its civilized life.
Today, the cycle revolving around sugar has significantly changed compared to thetimes when sugar was a luxury product. Today humans consume excessive amounts of
it, and sugar consumption is no longer an indicator of a nation’s cultural level. In
Taiwan, there are only two operating sugar refineries left.
Seeking clues in the culture of Tainan, where one of the refineries is located, a proverb
related to sugarcane, and the smell of brown sugar, I traveled backward to reminisce
on this cycle. Through the sweet taste of my ice cream, I want to share my experienceof walking through sugarcane fields while fighting the tropical heat with soothing
sweet flavours, and my very physical considerations about ” richness.”
