The Pears of Possibility showcases the power of positive thinking in turning dreams into reality, blending the real with the imaginative. It features a girl in a beautiful but overgrown garden, using her belief to make pears grow larger than life while others defy gravity; illustrating the clear message that with determination, we can achieve the extraordinary.

Laura Antonia Abbott is a British, Fine Art and Conceptual Photographer, with a multi disciplinary artistic background. Laura’s work is rich in symbolism. Surrealist dreamscapes emerge from her visual imagery; influenced by her poetic observations of the world and human encounters. Recurrent themes that frequent her work are the search for female identity, threats to the natural world and mental health. Laura constructs her images primarily on location with rich colours and handmade props created from recycled materials when possible.
