Having lived in Canada and the United States for most of my life, residing in the Italian countryside has exposed me to new and simple pleasures. Stepping away from urban centers—where markets are perennially flush with greenhouse produce or international imports—I remember the terrestrial cycles that govern animals and plants that were familiar to my ancestors who farmed the Italian countryside.

Seasonal is a collection of photographs and NFT gifs that collide my local Italian produce with art historical precedents for using fruits and vegetables as memento mori. By releasing one set of photographs and NFTs every two weeks, I play on the idea of being “in season,” inserting a geological temporality into a realm that is otherwise seemingly untethered to the material or the worldly.
