At a gala dinner yesterday evening at the Rivoli Rooftop Bistro, there were gasps of delighted surprise when the winning entry for the Poupette Memorial was unveiled. In a surprise last-minute entry, E. Edge Builders swept the floor with their ground-breaking and playful design. The sculpture is not of Poupette, but rather, the olive that brought about her untimely end. Seated inside the large-scale olive, named Poupette's Last Thoughts, visitors experience the soundscape of her mind in her final moments. When asked about this new direction in their work, E. Edge Builders responded, "We refuse to be pigeonholed!"
