Fluid Acrylic with Oil on Panel
h: 30 w: 40 d: 1 (cms).
This series reclaims the age-old image of women and apples, transforming a symbol of temptation and transgression into one of knowledge, choice and defiance. Realism and abstraction interwine to explore myth, agency and transformation. Here, the myth of Eris is reimagined, and the golden apple becomes an abstract catalyst rather than a prize. Rival goddesses are reduced to mere dots and are no longer competing, hence refusing the logic of comparison altogether. In contrast, Eris is fully realised - complex, textured and embodied. Discord is framed not as destruction, but as a necessary disturbance that exposes systems of comparison, beauty, value and legitimacy.

Fluid Acrylic with Oil on Wood Panel
h: 50 w: 70 d: 1 (cms).
This series reclaims the image of women and apples, transforming an age-old symbol of temptation and transgression into one of knowledge, choice and defiance. Realism and abstraction intertwine to explore myth, agency and transformation. This work positions the apple as symbolic legacy, suggesting continuity of the cultural narratives of temptation and beauty. This isn't about one Eve - it's about all of us. The circles serve as both warning sign and halo, as the figures occupy the space between icon and individual, reclaiming the apple symbol and holding it without apology.
