Luca Valentini depicts Marilyn Monroe in an unusual way: instead of a seductive, controlled gaze, the iconic popular character sticks out her tongue, an act of irony, mockery, and satire. Marilyn is no longer simply an object of desire, but a conscious subject who plays with her own image and the gaze of the viewer. The gesture is intentionally childish and provocative at the same time, dismantling the seriousness of the myth and making it pop, lighthearted, almost irreverent. All the writings work on two levels: on the one hand, they recall the glossy language of magazines and advertising, on the other, they strip it of meaning, transforming it into an ironic statement on pleasure and consumption. "Lick it or leave it" is not only an explicit and suggestive invitation, but also becomes a metaphor for the contemporary relationship with desire: either you consume it immediately, without thinking, or you discard it. There is no longer any waiting, no depth, only impulse. Falling Chupa Chups reinforce this idea of immediate, accessible, serial, almost disposable sweetness. Sweetness is no longer something intimate or rare, but a product that rains down from above, ready to be licked, consumed, and forgotten. The phrase "sweetness is a provocation" overturns the concept of innocence: sweetness becomes a provocative act, a conscious weapon of seduction, a power play disguised as lightheartedness.
