The fruits are so realistic that one has the urge to snatch one from the canvas and eat it (if it doesn't have pins). However, beneath the verneer of the paint, is a subtle irony that is not easily discernable. That's what makes her work so extraordinary. Emily’s artwork is beautiful.

I love it. I can see some of the metaphors she's portraying. Like the flaming cherry, I later realized was a "Cherry BOMB". And pharmaceutical pills ARE like timebombs. They wreak havoc on our bodies. Or what if we started using fruits as bait or pets instead of live animals. Interesting perspective. Wow. I love it. I can see some of the metaphors she’s portraying.
