With Solace
guā zi 瓜子 (Watermelon Seeds)
2020
Every summer, the girl sits in solitude working the watermelon mines — extracting the precious treasures which they conceal. Her cat beckons the spirits to emerge from their slumber contained in the comfort of their sweet sanctuary. In her resolve, if she had not paused, all she would see are the seeds that fed her body and not the solace that feeds her soul.
The watermelon bears much significance in the Chinese tradition, especially for their seeds. In certain regions where the crop is bountiful, the fruit is valueless and has no price attached to it except for its seed.
