...and God created Pomegranate

The pomegranate is revered for the beauty of its tree, flowers, and fruit. It is said that pomegranates were cultivated in Cyprus by Aphrodite herself. The fruit symbolizes the soul's immortality and the perfection of nature, as well as the cycles of life, birth, and renewal. Here Yükselle depicts the creation of the sacred fruit with the help of mythological nymphs.
