I go by the title of collage artist and barely make a living from it. What do you imagine when you hear the word "collage"? Cutting out favorite pages from fashion magazines and gluing together photos of your beloved idols is a method commonly recognized as collage. However, that’s simply gathering your favorites; it’s like piling cakes on a plate at a cake buffet saying, "Wow, that looks delicious!" or "Wow, that's cute!" This results in a plate piled high with cakes, which is a perfectly normal sight at a cake buffet. Naturally, no one complains in such a setting. The only complaint could arise if someone took a lot of desserts just to take an Instagram photo without actually eating any of the cakes.
On the other hand, the collage I envision is like a plate full of different-shaped forks surrounding a single cake. Or it might be described as cakes stacked like mille-feuille between plates. In either case, it seems the staff at the buffet might give an unpleasant look. What about a "plate made of cake"? Or a "cake made of plates"... Ah, let's not get lost! How about a "cake made of cake"?
