"In Apple"

This evocative painting portrays a pregnant woman curled gracefully within the core of a green apple, symbolizing fertility, creation, and the sacred feminine. Her relaxed, introspective posture speaks to the quiet power of nurturing life, while the apple — often associated with knowledge, temptation, and nature — becomes a protective womb-like vessel. Droplets float along the edge, adding a sense of freshness, purity, and emotional depth. The blending of fruit and form suggests the interconnectedness of woman, earth, and the cycles of life. This artwork is a visual ode to motherhood, nourishment, and the beauty of beginnings.
