Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden Fruit is a mixed media series that explores the tension between knowledge, temptation, and consequence. Each painting centers on a symbolic fruit—varied across the series—surrounded by abstract forms, serpent-like figures, and layered newspaper collage. Inspired by the story of Adam and Eve, the work reflects on how modern humanity continues to misuse its knowledge, often to destructive ends. The snake represents everyday temptation, while the newsprint speaks to the overwhelming flood of information we often ignore. This series is a meditation on awareness, denial, and the cost of drifting farther from truth.
