Life of a Strawberry

Inspired by: Henry George Todd, Study of Strawberries

I created this piece in response to Henry George Todd’s “study of strawberries”. Todd’s painting was meant to show some disease or decay on the berries noting mortality, our own mortality. I used heavily painted papers and carefully selected color palette to demonstrate not only the vibrant fresh fruit but also a traitorous decay that will eventually take over the berry.
