The prickly pear

50 x 60cm

$350

This oval shaped fruit is rebellious. It’s spiky skin stealthily protects the undulating, juicy flesh inside. Its sticky sweetness is often wasted to the rain who just wants to watch it swell and swell on its harbouring leaves until – crack – the prickly pear bursts open. Useless. Tasteless. Overripe.
