Apple and Cigarettes
2004

A rustic outdoor scene with a ripe, yellow apple sitting on weathered wooden planks next to a glass ashtray filled with cigarette butts. Overhanging the scene is a flowering branch with delicate white blossoms casting shadows on the wall and ground, contrasting the natural beauty with the discarded remnants of smoking.
