A visual and metaphorical metamorphosis is depicted by the combination of the grapes and blood in which wine becomes blood. Universally, the images of blood and wine serve as symbols of life. Grapes are a source of sustenance for which blood, a sustaining life force, is fuelled, speaking to the sacrifices we all endure to support one another. Fruit of the Vine is a work of acrylic on canvas using chiaroscuro.
