In the foreground, a lit candle, split in half, sits alongside a fresh green apple and an empty box. This ensemble could represent the fragility of life, the freshness of knowledge symbolized by the apple, and the empty box signifying potential or the unknown.

Finally, extending from the left of the painting, an open hand reaches out towards the apple hanging from the tree, a classic symbol of desire and aspiration.
