In Solaris, a luminous lemon rests alongside a delicate branch of Solaris grapevine, both intrinsically connected to the warmth and life-giving presence of the sun. Drawing upon the historical symbolism of fruit and the vine, I explore themes of vitality, renewal and the cyclical passage of the seasons through the intimacy of a small still life.
