Fates

This painting features a pear, full of blemishes of being ripe and growth- an allegory to human adolescence. By dressing it in a beautiful and sensual manner, I find solace in the idea that even an unconventional subject can radiate stunning confidence. This symbolic act empowers me to embrace my appearance and give an expression that a human being is not a fruit, that can be judged. However, the bottom has a metal chain attached to it- on it a golden lock.
