Aquapolis

Level:
Difficult
With the predictable rise of sea levels, I thought that possibly, we would not be able to live in the same place as we do now.  I have reflected about this issue and came up with an original chocolate shape which illustrates a circular floating island that I imagined we could move to.  There is a desire to express a new form by turning the molded chocolate upside down.
