Deessa

Mandarin Otieriental Ritz

We deconstructed Quique Dacosta’s dishes to contextualize his work at Deessa within an art gallery setting.
“Deessa” refers both to the goddess of nature and creation, and to a natural space in Valencia, Spain — the Chef’s homeland. We deconstructed his dishes by starting from the ingredients, placing them within a fictional space surrounded by nature and creation.
This fusion of concepts generates a visual trompe-l’oeil, revealing the ingredients as a work of art in themselves.
