Femininity has been symbolized in many ways over thousands of years and numerous cultures. Out of a project aiming to celebrate femininity, this photo uses pomegranates and its symbolism in Greek Mythology. Pomegranates were a symbol of fertility and the underworld, being associated with many Greek goddesses such as Persephone and Hera.
