Description

All hail the upward-pointing strawberry – a symbol of earthly love and happiness since ancient times. This bold little fruit perches wantonly on top of a golden moon (or planet), hold aloft by 3 index fingers emerging from a turquoise pyramid – it demands attention! The meaning of this sculpture eludes me, except for one undeniable truth – I really like strawberries.

Index fingers symbolise guidance and direction, their nonverbal gestures speaking volumes: number one, first, up, down, you, come here or a wagging no. They also represent teaching and authority, and in this case, they point us toward a single, irresistible focus – the juicy, sweet red prize!
