Glass Orchard (2025)

In Glass Orchard, the familiar Edenic image of temptation is reimagined through fragility rather than sin. A woman stands beneath the boughs of a dark, glimmering tree, her gaze fixed on a translucent apple suspended in air. Its surface catches the dying light like molten gold — beautiful, untouchable, and breakable. Her fingers hover close but never make contact.

⤷ Cox turns the myth of desire inward. The glass fruit becomes a symbol of perfection that punishes, something too delicate to hold, yet too luminous to ignore. Within the stillness of her expression lies a profound restraint, the awareness that reaching would shatter everything.

Rendered in deep amber tones and soft chiaroscuro, the piece feels both devotional and tragic. It evokes the ache of wanting something pure and knowing you’ll destroy it by wanting it.
