Goodbye lingers on a carob tree as its mature pods and dense green foliage fill the frame. The work marks a seasonal turning point where the ripening fruit signals the end of summer. It carries a reflective tone that acknowledges endings and the quiet inevitability of change.
The carob (il-harruba) is a protected species in Malta and a symbol of national heritage. Known for its extreme longevity and resilience, it has been iconic to the islands for centuries. Traditionally, its pods are harvested to create gulepp tal-harrub, a medicinal syrup and a staple of local culture.
