Protecting the bananas, Cuenca, Ecuador, 2011

In some markets, merchants cover their fresh fruit under plastic covers, keeping them cool and preventing spoilage. I found the cover on these bananas to be a powerful abstracting tool. It seems as if the fruit within it is embedded in ice.

In this case, I believe the plastic cover is used for temperature control to prevent spoilage. The crucifix, however http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/138698209) is most likely packaged in plastic wrap to keep out dirt and prevent scratches.

I'm seeing a similarity between the plastic coated bananas and the crucifix.
