This artwork expresses both the femininity and masculinity contained within my friend Chris, as the organic outline of the oranges and lemon portray his femininity and the pink rectangles resemble his masculine, bold side. His confident expression suggests pride and confidence, and his side profile is similar to depictions of a Roman god or emperor. The oranges and lemon draw out his soft and funny character within his many personalities. The oranges represent his optimistic and uplifting character, while the single lemon was added on his behalf, as he told me he liked lemons better than oranges.
