Simple Sustenance: Pumpkins, When the Beauty is in the Imperfections, a photo essay by Renu Chhabra
by Renu Chhabra
The harvest moon hangs round and high
It dodges clouds high in the sky,
The stars wink down their love and mirth
The Autumn season is giving birth.
Oh, it must be October
The leaves of red bright gold and brown,
To Mother Earth come tumbling down,
The breezy nights the ghostly sights,
The eerie spooky far off sounds
Are signs that it’s October.
The pumpkins yellow, big and round
Are carried by costumed clumsy clowns
It’s Halloween – let’s celebrate.
– Pearl N. Sorrels, It Must be October
Color and rusticity are the characters of autumn
Warm tones and rustic gifts from nature fill our hearts with a sense of wholeness. It’s a feeling that reminds us of our connection with the earth and our humble existence.
Orange, yellow, red, and amber are the colors of fall, visible in landscapes and farms alike. Pumpkins, gourds, and squashes add soul to this season. Greeting us on the front porch or displayed inside the house, they adorn our spaces with fall bounty; they are festive and inviting. They bring with them a certain positive energy.
And what’s fall without pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin soup? It’s the pumpkin heaven that embraces us, at home or anywhere else. We all want to savor the season’s bounty to its fullest.
I am intrigued as much by the great pumpkin’s beauty as by its imperfections. Some of the very deformed ones are the most intriguing of all. But who said nature is perfect? Nature is beautiful, yet free-spirited when we see it in its natural and organic form. And we see its beauty in these colorful gourds that exude their individual characteristics in their own special ways.
They have different colors, shapes, sizes, and personalities. Yet they are beautiful and unique, despite their imperfections. They all bring something special to our tables in terms of taste, texture, and quality.
Just like us, human beings.
What do you think?
Celebrate the season!

Zev Robinson is a Canadian-British artist and filmmaker currently living in Valencia in Spain. After finishing his B.F.A. in Montreal in 1983, he completed his M.F.A. in New York and subsequently moved to Italy and traveled around Europe, before settling in Spain in 1991. In Spain, he married Albertina Torres. The couple moved to London in 1995, where this series of chile peppers was created.
