Produce


Produce

I have titled this piece 'Produce' because It forms a metaphor for hard work. The pearl has become a symbol for suffering because when you look at how a pearl is formed, It is produced in the flesh of an oyster when an irritant gets lodged inside, the oyster produces a nacre, to cover the rough edges of the grain, making it less painful. I have put emphasis on the pearl by creating a contrast between the oxidised copper pods and the white of the pearl. The black pod represents strength and the pearl represents hard work and effort. The pearl also resembles the gooseberry which symbolizes the 'good fruit' produced through hard work.
