I am a stage where green apples dance,
A theater of desire, a captivating trance.
Everyday objects take on a new soul,
In amusing narratives, they play their role.

Upon sleek pedestals, a note in miniature,
Questioning truths on screens, obscure.
On this stage of life, desire takes flight,
In a spectacle of blue, lilac, yellow and red lights.

Objects arranged with a purpose clear,
To unravel mysteries and invite cheer.
Cocktails grandeur both in happy and sad,
Expose the ruse of openings, lick, sip… bad.

Four sculptures stand tall and proud,
Each with a story, each with a shroud.
Heart, diamond, club, and spade,
With mushrooms growing, desires are laid.

Stacked cards of our fragile realities,
From primal beginnings to complex fatalities.
Apples cling, a message clear,
Critiquing structures we hold dear.

Beyond the veil, fantasies dance,
Unveiling staged love, draping our chance.
Taught to crave certain spectacles bright,
But peek behind, behold the light.

The machine-made perfection clashes with nature’s grace,
Metal against fungi, apples, curtains and bows chase.
As the stage unfolds through organic and sleek design,
We see a dance of contrasts, in this exhibition divine.

So tell me, dear friend, can you unravel the scheme?
