Pomegranate seeds decorate the thriving foliage below, symbolizing fertility - an homage to Persephone, the Greek goddess of marriage and childbirth. The fig, cut open exposing its abundant buds, rests centered atop wings open and ready to be enjoyed.
While humanity has evolved past hitting men and women with fig branches to promote fertility, we still retain many rituals to "get in the mood," such as soft music, a little bubbly, and lit candles.
This piece celebrates the opportunity of new life, which once born can take flight on its own path in the world.
