Here are a few excerpts from her website about why she does what she does:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I aim not to compete with mother nature, hence most of my floral sugar designs are abstract and not intended to be botanically correct.\u00a0I believe in the poetry and romance of each creation with a whimsical and abstract touch. I\u2019m fascinated by using mixed edible media, by pushing boundaries in the conventional use of sugar, in order to bring a new voice to this much elaborated art form &#8230;\u00a0Sugar Alkymi\u2019s oeuvres are designed to allure the indulger in the nostalgic history of art with romance, while amusing their palate\u00a0to create sweet memories,\u00a0one bite at a time. Sugar Alkymi is my Jewel and I welcome you to my magical world of sugar art and\u00a0edible flower artistry.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Sigh.<\/em> Thank you, Sahar&#8230; I&#8217;m never leaving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Los Angeles based artist Sahar Masarati&#8217;s work started\u00a0showing up in my Instagram feed, I thought what you probably thought for the majority of this post&#8230; &#8220;Ah, dramatically photographed flowers.
