Pomegranates

Pomegranates have had symbolic significance in many cultures and religions throughout history. They have represented fertility, prosperity, and both life and death. The pomegranates in this series are informed in part by these associations. While working on these pieces, I cut open many pomegranates and found that each has its own unique arrangement of seeds, much like a fingerprint. And so, these pomegranates can also be interpreted as individuals, representing different aspects of our personalities, emotions, and our connections to past and future.
