An Apple A Day

“An Apple A Day” is my expression of how disconnected we have become from the truth about our food, our health, and our bodies. This piece exposes a contradiction we all live with, we eat to nourish ourselves, yet the food we eat is often the thing that slowly destroys us.

The artwork shows a large red apple a symbol of health, purity, nature, and life. But above it, a machine sprays chemicals, pesticides, and invisible toxins directly onto the fruit. These substances enter the soil, the air, the plant, and eventually our bodies.

The mouth at the bottom represents human innocence we trust what we see, we trust the beauty of the apple, we trust the idea that food should heal us. But we rarely see the truth behind the surface.

This painting speaks about deception, blind consumption, and the hidden violence in our daily lives. It is both a warning and an awakening.

The bright yellow background contrasts with the darkness of the message representing how the food industry disguises danger with color, marketing, and imagery that feels “natural” and “healthy.”

This artwork expresses my frustration with how society normalizes poisoning ourselves.
We call it agriculture.
We call it progress.
We call it “healthy eating.”
But the truth is that we are ingesting chemicals that weaken us, make us sick, and separate us from our natural power.

The apple, a symbol of life, becomes a symbol of contamination.

We are literally eating our own destruction not because we want to, but because we have been taught not to question.
