Fruitful

Country

The Netherlands

Kira Jansen’s “Fruitful” is crafted from various parts of the tomato plant to showcase the inherent beauty of nature, even in elements often discarded as waste. The paint, rich in natural pigments like lycopene and chlorophyll, is made from the skins and leaves, while the canvas is crafted from the plant’s sturdy stems. This thoughtful use of materials illustrates the inherent balance in nature and challenges us to embrace a more symbiotic relationship with the environment. Kira’s work invites viewers to reconsider the beauty in the smallest details of nature, showing how art can not only raise awareness but also inspire action towards a more sustainable future.
