A obra faz referência direta à música "Strange Fruit" de Billie Holiday, lançada em 1939. A canção fala sobre os horrores do linchamento de pessoas negras que ocorria nos Estados Unidos, denunciando a violência racial e fazendo um chamado à ação contra o racismo e a discriminação. A escultura "Wonder Fruit" propõe que celebremos a vida dos que a perderam neste momento tenebroso da história. O trabalho nos lembra que, apesar dos desafios e dificuldades enfrentados pela comunidade negra, há muita beleza e diversidade nesta cultura. As pequenas frutas que compõem o cacho gigante representam esta riqueza formada por diversas influências e tradições.
"Somos feitos de histórias e personalidades únicas. Jamais esqueceremos de onde viemos e pelo que brotamos - mas os frutos que damos são de vitória e repaginação. Um novo testamento do povo negro está sendo escrito Como disse Kendrick Lamar, o renomado rapper americano, 'as árvores de dinheiro são o lugar perfeito para a sombra.'"

The work makes direct reference to the song "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday, released in 1939. The song talks about the horrors of the lynching of black people that occurred in the United States, denouncing racial violence and making a call to action against racism and discrimination. The sculpture "Wonder Fruit" proposes that we celebrate the lives of those who lost them in this dark moment in history. The work reminds us that, despite the challenges and difficulties faced by the black community, there is much beauty and diversity in this culture. The small fruits that make up the giant bunch represent this richness formed by different influences and traditions.
"We are made of unique stories and personalities. We will never forget where we came from and what we sprouted for - but the fruits we bear are of victory and rebirth. A new testament of black people is being written As Kendrick Lamar, the renowned American rapper, said, ' money trees are the perfect place for shade.'"
