The painting "Green Apples" is an exploration of the contradiction between sameness and difference. On one hand, the apples are all of a single color - green - and they appear to have been gathered together into a single, unified group. Yet, despite their unity, these apples have their characteristics. Each one is unique, with its shape, size, and level of ripeness. This painting serves as a reminder that, even within a seemingly homogenous group of things, each individual’s characteristics must be acknowledged and respected. Ultimately, this painting asks us to embrace the beauty of our differences, despite the ways we may all seem the same.
