The change in seasons is universal reminder of the passage of time and life's cyclical nature. Allegories of the four seasons have been a popular theme for artists for hundreds of years. Borrowing from Arcimboldo's 'Winter' using ivy and lemons, the only fruit that grew in Italy in that season, winter here is not represented by an old man, as traditional, but by a beautiful young woman. A commentary on the changing seasons and contemporary beauty culture of today's society.
