Short description: For this piece, labeled “Temptation”, the artist wanted the branches to symbolize the science of fractal symmetry, and simultaneously resemble the form of roots and neuron endings. The striking gold represents depth, intrinsic value and barren fulfillment. Meanwhile, the figure of the apple stands out unnaturally from the background to emphasize the symbolic nature of the painting. The rest of the interpretation is intentionally left to the viewer.
