Shared Experience

When making this sculpture, I was thinking about the quiet gesture of dividing half a pomegranate in half again — and offering someone the slightly larger piece. It’s a small but meaningful act, a gracious expression of friendship.

Pomegranates are messy. Their seeds demand attention — they slow you down. Eating them one at a time becomes a moment of shared focus, a kind of intimacy that isn’t performative, but real. It’s a simple, generous interaction: quiet, deliberate, and specifically kind.

The two bronze halves of this sculpture don’t fit together perfectly — and that’s intentional. It reflects the nature of the fruit itself: irregular, organic, and difficult to divide cleanly. In metal, that imperfect fit becomes a reminder of the beauty in effort, offering, and connection.
