Pie is composed in rich purples, lavenders, caramels and soft neutrals. Shades of yellow and orange reflect the excitement, happiness, and curiosity of play.

The varied shapes, layers, textures, numbers and marks may suggest sensory objects and a flurry of activity. Just as children invent scenarios in pretend cooking, this painting invites viewers to engage their imaginations, suggesting a world where anything is possible.

As a centerpiece, the pie represents the transformation of simple ingredients into a contained, aesthetic form. The white shapes with a yellow centre may be reminiscent of eggs spilling as if just cracked from their shell. These liquid, solid forms reflect the transitions that may occur between the real and imaginary in play.

Overall, this painting intertwines the joy of play, the symbolic nature of toys, and the limitless possibilities of imagination.
