The Fruit of My Woman

Story & Concept Development

The story depicts how over the years of marriage, the wife transforms from someone yearning for freedom and appearing younger than others, gradually into an aged, submissive, and withering soul—

Using a Kafka The Metamorphosis style, the novel eventually turns the wife into a plant on the balcony, dependent on the husband to water her in order to survive. And just like most plants, her ultimate fate also reaches the end of life as winter approaches.

Using photorealistic rendering, I visualized this textual fantasy to depict the process of the wife being continually suppressed in marriage, forced to retreat inward, and gradually losing her sense of self.
