Original artwork description
When time ends, life begins.
Break free from darkness to blossom again.
A surreal ode to the myth of Persephone, masterfully embodied in the image of an hourglass. This is not just a clock — it is a prophecy. It is filled with the promise of pomegranates, the fruits of which are squeezed in anticipation, like tears. And the gray rain that flows from the storm cloud, counting the seconds between the world of the living and the world of the dead, which the Goddess of Spring spends in the underworld.
Each ruby fruit is a symbol of her covenant, each drop a moment of anticipation.
Below, among the emerald grass, the first petals awaken, heralding spring, inevitable as fate, and the first flower, marking the return of the goddess and the beginning of spring.
This is a story about sacrifice, passing time, and the unbreakable power of rebirth. A myth captured in glass.
How many pomegranate seeds are left until spring?
The perfect art for those who appreciate symbolism, myths, and beauty born of trials.
