Who keeps your secrets? Can you trust anyone to safeguard them?

This work is a metaphor on women and the secrets they keep. Pears have long been associated with women, due to their shape and the sweetness of the fruit. Some women are open to sharing their secrets, to confiding in someone close to them. others will never divulge them. EVER.

Here we have a pair of crows acting as protectors of those secrets, unlocking only a few, and only at the request of the owner. Overseeing all of this is the crescent moon, symbolizing the feminine energy.
