Three ripe pomegranates fill this stained glass mosaic, tumbling toward the viewer against a sky of bright turquoise. The fruit is built from hundreds of hand-cut shards in crimson, garnet, rust and burnt orange, set so the lines of glass follow the curve of each skin the way brushstrokes follow form in a painting. The pomegranate in front has split open, and its interior is a dense field of tiny red pieces that catch the light like the seeds themselves. Each fruit still wears its crown, and slender green leaves sweep through the composition, pulling the eye from corner to corner.

The background is as alive as the subject. Bands of cobalt and violet glass radiate outward from behind the fruit, giving the turquoise a sense of heat and motion, like late-summer sun. Below, deep brown and black tesserae form a shadowed tabletop that anchors the pomegranates and makes their reds glow even more. The result feels less like a still life than a moment of abundance: glass handled with a painter's eye, where color, light and texture do the work of the brush.
