The Apple of One's Eye

Shai Dhali - Vertical Gallery

September

The Apple of One's Eye is composed of three panels with each one showing an aspect of prosperity. The first panel, The Golden Age, represents the unobtainable ideal for those men and women comparing their unfortunate lives to the glossy past. The Apple of Discord on the second panel is the present moment in time and the turmoil that exists in the quest for a fortunate life. The third panel has a photograph riveted to the stripped down fabric. It displays a hand begging without recognition for the wealth inside of itself, and thus remaining a slave to the act of wanting.
