Pomegranate Blossom

Artist

Yana Rzayeva

Description

Pomegranate trees grow wild in my ancestral homeland, Azerbaijan, and are one of the first things that come to mind when I think about that landscape. The flower was drawn on paper then transferred onto encaustic surface in order to achieve this faint, dream-like image, which alludes to a distant memory. The rug cut-out represents the fragmented nature of diasporic living and stands as metaphor for international borders.
