Re-packaging a product that is commonly associated with obesity and excess as a medicine highlights our current obsession with our diet and health. The familiar colour, smell and name of the product on one hand seem to contradict its physical form as a medicine promising improved health, yet there are also complimentry associations of addiction and side effects.
On closer inspection the product has a twist. This is raw chocolate, the purest, least processed form of chocolate which in fact offers health benefits.
Working prototype designed and built by Becky Miller.
