The Apple: Knowledge, temptation, choice, the fall from innocence, or simply the beauty and weight of a single, decisive thing. The Bracelets: Identity, adornment, the layers of self we present to the world. They contrast with the raw, primal symbolism of the apple. The Marbled Chaos: The subconscious, the tumultuous and unpredictable ground of desire and decision from which all choices are born. The Gesture: Offering, temptation, or perhaps a simple, profound presentation of a truth. Interpretation: This painting remembers the moment before the choice is made. It is not about the act

The Adorned Offering explores the psychological terrain between the seen and the unseen — a meditation on emotion, memory, and the fragile thresholds of identity. The work invites contemplation of inner landscapes and the quiet movement of thought beneath form.
