Seven Ways to Climb
Full Size 7.5 ft Puzzle
A life-sized cocoa tree unfolding across seven individual panels, each section capturing its own moment of growth and texture.
Each panel can stand alone with its own character, but together they complete the full experience, coming together like a puzzle to form one living body of work.
This piece invites viewers to move between the individual and the whole, noticing how each fragment carries energy on its own while contributing to something larger.
ABOUT COCOA
IN GRENADA
Cocoa has been an important part of Grenada's economy and culture since the late 17th century and the island is now known for producing high-quality "fine flavour" cocoa.
Farmers mainly grow Criollo and Trinitario cocoa varieties on small farms, often alongside spices like nutmeg and cinnamon, which many believe help give Grenadian cocoa its unique taste.
Grenada is sometimes called the
"Chocolate Capital of the Caribbean" because it not only exports cocoa beans but also produces local bean-to-bar chocolate. Traditional cocoa tea, made with grated cocoa and island spices, is also a popular drink.
