From the first moment I saw the gourd, I was fascinated. It is at once ugly and yet beautiful at the same time.
There is a sensual side to this ornamental vegetable that also caught my attention.
I have created this book to further explore the beauty, ugliness and sensuality of this member of the squash family.
Interesting photos await you...
