Rows fruit hang
Rows of fruit hang heavy, each tagged with a number instead of bearing witness to sun or rain. Logistical reports show apples marked ‘expired’ weren't lost to blight—they simply followed different trade routes, finding buyers who valued lower prices. The orchard’s collection of data feels strangely hollow despite its meticulous detail; yield is paramount, while individual stories dissolve into ethical calculations. A slick wax coating gleams on the skin of each apple, reflecting a distorted image back at the viewer and hinting at hidden processes beneath its polished surfaces.
