A research-driven installation named for the Titan of Time and Harvest, Juxtaposing ancient wild fruits (small, seedy, irregular) with modern commercially bred fruits (large, flawless, seedless) on a textured circular platform. It exposes centuries of human intervention and the ecological and nutritional costs of aesthetic and commercial gains.

The work is a visual discourse on the ongoing human manipulation of agricultural products over time for aesthetic and commercial gain. The central feature of this work was the juxtaposition of ancient fruits against their modern counterparts. From watermelons to corn, the juxtaposition highlighted not only the significant changes in size, color, and form but 
also prompted viewers to reflect on the underlying values and implications of these transformations. By presenting models of uncultivated, wild fruits alongside those that have been extensively bred and genetically modified, the work vividly illustrated the transformation these fruits have undergone.

"Cronus for Dessert" was not just an artistic endeavor but also an educational experience that encouraged visitors to consider the implications of continuing down a path focused primarily on aesthetic improvements. It asked whether the pursuit of beauty and bounty in 
our agricultural products might come at an unseen cost to biodiversity, nutritional value, and ecological balance. In essence, the piece aimed to make the invisible visible.
