This is the sole work extant by the talented Botthefarm, who devoted his brief career to documenting instances of runaway genetic engineering in the marketplace. He purchased this fruit at a roadside stall in his home town of Medellin, Colombia, where disenfranchised coca farmers have been practicing growing somewhat alternative crops. It is said that the new generation of genetically-enhanced fruits and vegetables will end the threat of world hunger, although it is expected to contribute to a substantial rise in hernias among farmers, shippers and grocery clerks.

 

Botthefarm had just completed this piece and was cleaning his brushes when a minor earthquake struck the region, toppling the 800-pound (363 kg) fruit from the table onto him, killing him instantly. His work qualifies as a Depressionist piece because, according to the testimony of eyewitnesses, the accident depressed him against the cement floor of his studio "to the thickness of an enchilada."
