About the Artwork:
“Ripened by the Sun was inspired by the feeling of vulnerability. Will opening oneself up lead to a lasting and meaningful relationship, plucked from the stem at the perfect moment? Or will those emotions, felt so strongly and so bravely, be left in the sun to wither and rot? I chose a finch because of their beautiful energy, combined with their small and vulnerable personalities, and paired with a peach, which has traditionally represented marriage and fertility.” – Jessica Roux
