‘I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story . . . I couldn’t make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest.’
Inspired by the famous ‘fig tree’ passage from the novel, Rebaï’s fig artwork uses wax pastels to create a unique, colourful and eye-catching design for our illustrated edition of The Bell Jar, which we’ve adapted for this new metal pin badge.
A perfect gift for fans of Sylvia Plath and Beya Rebaï.
