Originating in the Middle Ages in the region we now know as Belgium, the waffle has deep roots in European tradition. First used in religious ceremonies as a communion wafer imprinted with sacred images, it was made from a simple dough of flour and eggs, pressed between iron plates to create its iconic grid pattern, reminiscent of honeycombs. Arriving in the Americas around 1620, the waffle quickly became a cultural staple in the United States, especially in the South, where the classic “Chicken & Waffles” pairs crispy fried chicken with the soft sweetness of the waffle — a surprising and beloved fusion of flavors. Today, the waffle is a symbol of comfort, often served at breakfast with maple syrup or rich chocolate sauce, creating joyful moments shared with family. Renato Gosling’s work celebrates this emotional legacy, translating the memory of flavor and togetherness into vibrant colors and playful forms. More than a tribute to food, it’s an invitation to reconnect with moments of happiness at the table — where art, history, and emotion come together.
