“Mom’s Pomegranates”
Mom’s Pomegranates is a testimony to a mother’s love. Watching my mom’s intricate process of carefully tearing apart the fruit and its seeds led me to explore the pomegranate further, giving it the weight of such an essential emotion: maternal love. Through the use of mixed media materials such as fabric, rhinestones, embroidery, and painting, Mom’s Pomegranates represents the delicacy and importance of maternal love.
