    Thin Watermelon

    ★★★★★

    The watermelon shakes and flaps in the wind, its frailty evocative of the human endeavour, in the end we have no true direction. We like this thin slice of watermelon are subjugated to the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
    And then, Fielder’s crowning achievement with this piece. He turns to camera, the omnipotent sustainer and possessor of the fate we have wrapped in this fruit and he gives us nothing, a look of blank indifference as if staring into the face of Kierkegaard’s God. Why would we be so arrogant to assume closure?
