Artwork description
In a hush of shadow and stillness, a single pomegranate glows - its skin rich and red as ancient memory, its crown uplifted like a silent proclamation.
Beside it, a segment lies broken open, offering its glistening seeds like rubies spilled from the purse of Persephone herself. Each jewel, blood-bright, seems to pulse with the weight of time, sweetness, and sorrow.
Scattered seeds rest on the table like forgotten words, while slender branches arc toward the dark - leaves veined with gold, reaching, remembering, resisting decay.
This is no mere still life. It is a meditation on ripeness and rupture, on what is held and what is given away. It speaks of abundance, loss, temptation, and the quiet reverence of moments caught between fullness and fall.
