Dark Fruit Vanitas
Decaying fruits spiral upward in this Gothic-inspired still life, where split pomegranates bleed their seeds into deep shadows.
Against a backdrop of Gothic architecture, fruits arrange themselves in a vertical spiral of decay. Pomegranates burst open, their seeds cascading like dark tears, while apples show the marks of time's passage. Thorny vines embrace the fruits in their twisted dance. The dramatic lighting from above creates a chiaroscuro effect, emphasizing the rich crimson tones against deep blues and browns. This modern take on a vanitas still life speaks to the beautiful tragedy of impermanence and nature's inevitable cycle.
