The de la Torre brothers use humor to critique and analyze the world around them. In Letting Them Eat Cake, a glass pig is placed on top of a silver platter, holding out a slice of vanilla cake, reaching out to the viewer in a Marie Antoinette fashion. The work nods to the dark underbelly of decadence, wealth, and status.
