Pomegranate often appears on my photos. It plays both symbolic and aesthetic role. Firstly, I love ancient myth about Hades and Persephone, where pomegranate was used as magical symbol of marriage that obliged Persephone to come back to the underworld each autumn, and this fruit is clearest reminiscence of Persephone archetype, which I have strong connection to. Also aesthetically it looks like something full of blood, related to human body, so for me it is often visual representation of heart. Also pomegranate is traditional symbol of Side, ancient Anatolian city and modern touristic center, where I lived for a year and a half, with a pomegranate tree in my garden also, so this has become really personal connection.
