“Naturally Packaged” uses a natural, earthy pallete to complement the fruit. Though they lay inside a plastic basket, not a wooden one, to contrast the inviting juicy fruit. While the produce will wither and decay to give back the nutrients to the earth, the basket will not. Even for its use to hold the fruit, it will exist and burden the ecosystem for centuries to come.
“Naturally Packaged” is criticism to the existence and use of plastic as a material only used for a fraction of its time on earth. This painting is meant to criticise, remind and urge to think of the products we use.
