More Kisses 

Scott Fraser created this captivating arrangement of chocolate kisses in a painting of no known date. These foil-wrapped confections transcend their identity as mere sweets, morphing into symbols laden with cultural and emotional significance. The repeated motif evokes the concept of abundance, reminiscent of cornucopias in ancient art, promising endless bounty and pleasure. The shape of the kiss, with its delicate curl, echoes forms found in nature and art. Think of the spiral of a seashell, or the gentle curve of a sleeping child. This shape is repeated throughout various motifs across history. Consider the psychological resonance of these kisses. Chocolate, often associated with comfort and affection, taps into our deepest desires and memories. The gleaming silver wrappers might bring to mind the allure of hidden treasures, waiting to be unwrapped and savored. Like the cyclical nature of life, the ‘kiss’ motif resurfaces in endless forms, a constant reminder of our shared human experience.
