Persephone’s hand grows like a lily
ceramic form, steel, metal shavings, charcoal, 2020
Do we find it degrading -
the scream which bursts
the seed to light?
Does a husk learn to die
to bear life?
Inspired by the daily observations of the cyclical changes in the natural environment, this piece inquires into the paradox of duality. It looks into the Myth of Persephone as a metaphor for the eternal return. The seed reflects the process of transformation inevitably embracing its rupture and wholeness, death and rebirth.
