Pirum

Pirum Aka the pear; My pear photographs are a nod to the Gothic and Early Renaissance painters, where fruit was part of an incredibly rich visual language. Each type of fruit carried a different meaning. The pear represents marital faith but also symbolizes inner peace. In some cultures it symbolizes affection. In christian contexts the pear symbolizes the Virgin and Child, probably because of it’s sweetness. It also bestows wisdom and health.
