Negin’s artwork refers to Yalda Night, an ancient Persian tradition marking the longest night of the year. It was believed to be the night of the Sun’s rebirth - after that night, days grow longer again. Yalda Night is a time of family gatherings, stories, and delicious food. Pomegranates are especially important because they symbolize birth, revival, and the cycle of life. In ancient times, many other people around the world celebrated the change of seasons. Did you know that the Celtic festival of Yule is celebrated on the same day as Yalda?
