The Artist
"If you've ever felt like you cannot completely be yourself, putting on a façade to accommodate the environment you're in. You can relate to this visual. Living with a thick, impenetrable skin you'll tend to drain your spirit. You're most vulnerable without it, you are the naked fruit on display. Truthfully, isn't that when fruit is most delicious (or - when the human spirit is most attractive)?"

At first, I wasn't sure my vision would translate with the peels, but after some time it did. The Visual impact and metaphoric relevance came through. I took a classical application of still-life painting and made it empathetic and
contemporary.
