"Take Away - Have an Ice Day," represents climate change and anthropocentrism by synthesizing them through a visual metaphor. The title itself plays with the words: “Take away”, which means both “to take away” and “to deprive”.

The iceberg inside is a warning that the celebration of abundance could soon come to an end. The planet does not have a free-refill policy.
