“fruto de LAS PENAS”

Acrylic on canvas
Handmade frame

This still life contains symbols of alcoholism , addiction , lust , and death . I set it up this way to speak on the “fruits” we bear through our hardships and struggles . Sometimes we pick up vices to cope with our sorrows . These vices eventually lead to death and the destruction of our self . Instead of bearing fruits of our labor or success , sometimes we bear the fruits of our sorrows .
