Have Mercy

The office building I work in is fairly new, and so new amenities are constantly being added to it. Part of my role involves a daily tour of the premises, to check that everything is in line with company branding policies, etc.

Today, on my rounds, I discovered that our Admin team had put up two new paintings in the visitor lounge on the third floor. Both paintings are striking and colourful, and on first glance, look nearly identical. But they’re not…

Imagine a huge strawberry, with eyes painted where the “nodes” of the strawberry should be. These eyes are all open in one painting, and half closed on the other.

The former is titled Passion Fruit; and the latter, Compassion Fruit.
