ABOUT PEARS

Aside from being one of my favorite breakfast foods (with cottage cheese), I have always found pears to be a sensual fruit. Their many varieties and colours, succulent flavours, flowing curved shapes and sexually suggestive interiors contribute to that sensuality. Presenting them oversized in these prints proved irresistible.
