Lavenderberry
30 x 40"
Acrylic on Canvas
 
A single blueberry floats in a soft lavender field - its deep violet skin suggests peak ripeness—swollen, sweet, and heavy with juice—while the pale skin covering its surface hints at something beginning to turn. The fruit exists at the threshold between indulgence and decay.
 
Freshness or fermentation, pleasure or spoilage. The Lavenderberry refuses to decide.
 
By holding the blueberry in this suspended state, the piece celebrates the instant when abundance is at its most intense and most fleeting. It reminds us that ripeness and rot are not opposites but neighbors—separated only by time.
