Apples Through the Ages: Symbolism and Lore

In Norse mythology, Idun's apples granted immortality, connecting the fruit to themes of life and longevity. The apple's presence in the Garden of Eden further cements its place in religious and cultural narratives as a symbol of temptation, knowledge, and the fall from grace. Arushi Tripathi's artwork subtly alludes to these rich layers of meaning, inviting viewers to contemplate the multifaceted symbolism of this seemingly simple subject.

The gradations of tone are achieved through variations in line density and direction, resulting in a striking sense of three-dimensionality and depth. The play of light and shadow brings the apples and the fabric to life, giving a tactile quality to the artwork, as if one could almost reach out and touch the smooth skin of the fruit.
