Cycles of Life
This series of three lacquer paintings combine the ancient form of red seal calligraphy with earthy colors and depictions of vessels – two with pomegranates. In China, the pomegranate is often found in artistic representations because the fruit contains many seeds, making it a symbol of fertility. We like to interpret these three paintings as evocative of three Cycles of Life.
