THE PRICE OF PURITY
7” x 5” ACRYLIC 2025
In this painting, a delicate glass apple hovers within a stormy, shadow-filled sky, embodying the tension between temptation and vulnerability. Nestled inside the apple, a solitary mushroom grows—a mysterious symbol of both toxicity and transformation. The interplay of gold and white highlights draws the eye, suggesting sparks of hope and purity amid darkness. Inspired by the stories of forbidden fruit and enchanted forests, the artwork explores how elements often viewed as dangerous can also hold unexpected beauty and meaning. It challenges us to reconsider what lies beneath appearances and to find balance in contradictions.
