In Bad Fruit this game between organic and geometric forms is visible most
clearly. Solid figures grow out of the inside of the figure like crystals, covering the
upper part of the figure. I was inspired by my experiences in the family orchard
where I used to work with my father. Every spring the tree branches are to be
pruned carefully, leaving only the thickest ones so that the apple tree can givetasty and healthy fruit. When you do not do it,
a tree degenerates and gives ever smaller and
sour fruit. Bad Fruit is a reflection on human
nature. Without proper intellectual and spiritual
hygiene a human being begins to resemble such
a neglected apple tree, and his or her true face is
covered in a degenerated “tissue” of unreflective
mechanisms.
