Rose Morte 2017

"I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no melancholy."

– Charles Baudelaire

Rose Morte

The Valentine’s roses had been waiting in my drawer, now maroon and withered. I move my camera over each one, searching for what might emerge. Slowly, delicate forms reveal themselves — mirroring something I cannot name. Time unfolds, and I become absorbed in a quiet duality.
