Apples in a Porcelain Basket 2007

Sharon Core's "Apples in a Porcelain Basket" (2007) is a still life photograph that depicts a basket of fruit, including apples, a pear, grapes, and nuts. Core's meticulous attention to detail and use of natural light give the photograph a realistic, almost painterly quality, calling to mind traditional still life painting. The composition is carefully balanced, with the fruit arranged in a visually pleasing way, further enhancing the overall sense of realism. The inclusion of imperfect, slightly bruised fruit suggests a commentary on the passage of time and the fleeting nature of beauty.
