"Saedian, an Iranian Kurdish artist, is on a mission to add one more apple to that list: Sêva mêxekrêj, or the Kurdish clove apple. Pierced with a layer of cloves, with only glimpses of the fruit underneath, these fragrant apples are used to express only the deepest of feelings, from love to grief...Once the apple was entirely covered with cloves, it was left to dry for several weeks. The maker then gifted the dried clove apple to their beloved. The apples can last as a memento of devotion for decades, imbuing them with immense meaning."
