life and death

apples have been associated with life all throughout history. when Christ is portrayed holding an apple it represents the second apple who bring life. Greek mythology tells of Heracles was required to pick a golden apple from the garden of hesperides tree of life. in Norse mythology the apple represents immortal life and was guarded by the gods. 'the life and death series' was inspired by the fruitful-ness of apples and how fast it rots away when it has been bitten into.
