Seasons is a series of twelve prints and functions as a calendar of seasonal food. Each print shows a fruit or a vegetable that is in season that month or from that month on. December is represented by dekopon, printed on white paper with two split-fountain prints, brown-silver-bronze going top to bottom in the background and orange-white-green in the front. Additional green powder is added to the bottom part of the dekopon for a more realistic molding effect. Instead of using the guillotine, each print was trimmed by hand. The torn ragged edges show the original color of the paper.

Availability of prints is based on the availability of the produce they depict in the local shops where I usually buy food. If the food is not available, the print is "out of season" as well. The fruits and vegetables were determined by the seasonal cycles in Ljubljana, with the exception of December, represented by the Japanese seasonal citrus Dekopon. This particular print ships flat so the shipping cost is a bit higher than of most other in series.

All the prints were made by Gal Šnajder at his newly established print house Čiračara in Maribor, Slovenia. Each print is signed and numbered in a limited edition of 15.
