The
Pomegranate
Piece
Pomegranates are a symbol of prosperity, abundance, and fertility.
Designed specifically for gallery or museum spaces, The Pomegranate Piece is a performance installation + immersive performance that compares efficiency and wastefulness, moderation and extravagance, composure and outrageousness through extreme juxtaposition.
And what is the purpose
of the pomegranate
if not to give ruby seeds;
its beauty being in sacrifice.
And how heartbreaking
when the jewels are rotted,
browned and withering,
having no hope of fruition.
