Heavy Fruit is a project by Alyssa V., an artist mother based in Oakland, CA.

Her work explores beauty inside of constraints.

It is inspired by living with disability, cultivating a voice while in the throes of motherhood, and commitment to joy amidst unchecked capitalism.

After a decade in the tech industry, working in both San Francisco and New York City, Alyssa has paused one career to pursue others.

She works and raises her child with her partner and their community in Temescal, Oakland.
