Sweet Treats

by artist Abraham Koh

This work explores the symbolism of fruits—often associated with youth, abundance, and the rewards of hard work. Yet, as fruits inevitably rot, they also serve as a poignant reminder of impermanence, decay, and mortality. Through this contrast, the artist reflects on the fragile beauty of nature and issues a quiet warning: without care and responsibility, the natural world we cherish may be lost forever.
