A Basket of Apples

By Kok Tuck Chong, Mouth and Foot Painting Artists

A woven basket brims with ripened apples. Each one blushed with warmth, dappled with light, and nestled gently in soft folds of blue cloth. Their rounded forms spill over with quiet abundance, their irregularity lending them a distinct, natural charm. Perched on the edge, a butterfly hovers, drawn to the richness of fruit and the stillness of the scene. A breath of nature that completes the tableau. This is a gentle reminder of the apple’s quiet significance: a symbol of harvest, health, and its beauty, often overlooked. As the saying goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
