Time to recreate my old "how to" thread on pomegranates to share the Yalda joy of the Persianate world tonight.

Steps:
1) cut a hat

4) cut vertically and shallowy along those
5) split

I've collected his work here...

If the last two lunar cycles were about faith and surrender, this one — I probably should've guessed it — will be about trusting the compass i.e. the body (+ Earth) and the emotional blowback* from experiencing pleasure

Textile works by NY-based Chinese artist Miranda Fengyuan Zhang, 2020s, whose intuitive compositions stem from the materials themselves, using recycled fibers inspired by her grandmother, who would unravel sweaters to knit new ones.
