🍎 Apples that fall (Sylvia Plath, etc.)
'Apples that Fall (Sylvia Plath, etc.)' pays homage to western tropes around womanhood and motherhood. There are fallen apples and fig leaves, referencing Eve and religious iconography, as well as scattered figs invoking Sylvia Plath's famous fig analogy. The viewer is invited to question whether the fruit is representative of a life well-lived and tasted; lost opportunities that now lay rotting; or a shrine to the mountainous female form that acts to triangulate their presence. The woman is naked, except for a gold party hat, a pinnacle which points slightly to a rotary phone, a lost communication and connection icon of the past.
