The title “Punica Granatum” is the scientific name for pomegranate, but Hasegawa’s works seem to express vividly an image of life which has a more fundamental meaning than that of pomegranate, which is classified simply as fruit. Her creations make us feel as if human flesh and blood, which appears under the stripped skin, is wriggling in a hole on a black background. Hasegawa created some exhibits in the shape of a peephole, which may suggest female genitals for some viewers. Through this exhibition, she shows us a sensual world which we are embarrassed to see in public. (Translated by Nozomi Nakayama)
