Created for a psychologist's office, this mural combines the pomegranate's ancient symbolism of transformation, rebirth, and the profound connection between light and shadow with that of personal growth, diversity becoming community, and the unique path of every human being.
Branches intertwine like life's paths, watery and evanescent shades remind us of how fragile and powerful change can be, and flowers and fruit mark moments of awareness, transformation, and achievement.
The pomegranate here is an inner tree, as in the myth of Persephone,
reminding us that even in the darkest times there is a promise of a return to the light.
And that every journey, however unique and jagged, is worthy of being lived with care.
