For consumers that have an infinity for fast foods, the 'Forever Pizza' art sculpture by creative Steph Mantis is a clever play on the cultural adoration for pizza. The piece features slices of real pizza that are individually preserved in solid plastic resin so that they can last a lifetime in the state they were originally purchased in.
The 'Forever Pizza' is a clever play on the concept of fast casual food that is meant to be consumed immediately. However the 'Forever Pizza' subverts this notion by encasing the slices in a clear hardshell that renders the food inedible. The resin preserves the shape, color and texture of the dish for years to come.
The art project is available in individual pieces or as an entire pizza, and can be used as accessories for the home.
