This project branched from the story, The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula L. LeGuin. The platter symbolizes the child's misery served upon a silver platter from his/her peers so that their happiness can be satisfied. There is a spoon representing the outside world and the various colors that appeared in their festivals. The part of the spoon that would enter the mouth is black to show that all of the color of the outside world is all but black for the child who has never left the cellar. There are remnants of corn mean and grease mingling with the beard of the old man enjoying the festival outside with crumbs in his beard. Finally the bowl with the smelly mop bristles emerging show the grotesque nature of the child's living environment.
