This ramen art has cooked up quite a bit of curiosity.

Cynthia Suwito, an artist based in Singapore, knits instant ramen as part of a performance art project appropriately named Knitting Noodles. And while the project is a fun, quirky take on our favorite hangover food, theres a poignant message behind it.

The 23-year-old artist explained that the work is a statement on our need for instant gratification. By taking a material that cooks quickly and using it for an activity that takes time, Suwito aims to slow viewers down, she wrote on her website.

Though the project started back in 2014, it recently stirred up attention after Suwito was featured in the 2016 Untapped Discovery, an exhibition put on by the Visual Arts Development Association Singapore.
