Apple Series - Green & Red

Redy Rahadian - Painted Steel

For many, an apple symbolizes freshness, pleasure, and beauty a simple fruit rich with meaning. But for Redy, the apple is a reflection of the Creator’s perfection. In its round form, vibrant color, and enticing taste lies a profound spiritual message: that everything God creates in this world is inherently perfect.

The apple is split into two contrasting colors: green and red. These two sides represent life’s paradoxes the unripe and the ready, the innocent and the tempting, the beginning and the end. Meanwhile, the black iron human figures that wrap around the apple’s body symbolize the limitations of human perception in recognizing and appreciating the blessings already given. We are often trapped in illusion and negligence, forgetting to acknowledge the greatness of the Creator.
