Fruit and Flesh

For centuries, fruit and the female form have shared a visual and symbolic lineage: objects of desire, beauty, and temptation. “Fruit and Flesh” draws upon tradition to explore a deeply personal yet widely familiar experience: the quiet unraveling that can follow emotional intimacy.

At the heart of the series is the peach- soft, ripe, tender- pressed gently against the female body. It is both offering and omen. With each image, the peach becomes a metaphor for the feminine experience: resilient yet easily bruised, sweet but susceptible, held delicately but never entirely safe.

“Fruit and Flesh” reflects a cycle many women know intimately: the hope of being seen fully and the quiet ache of realizing you may have given too much. It’s about the invisible boundaries we cross in pursuit of closeness and the slow, necessary return to self when we realize we've gone too far.

Through this series, viewers are invited to sit in that tension: the beauty and the ache of vulnerability, and to reflect on how tenderness, in the wrong hands or the wrong time, can begin to feel like entrapment.
