It is traditional in our culture for a girl to receive twenty roses on th
the 16th of May the year she turns twenty. The twenty roses are me
meant to celebrate the pure passion, dreams, and love that await th
the girl in her future life as a woman.
Yet, however much we celebrate them, as time passes, her pure p
passions, dreams, and love will most likely be disturbed and s
scattered even break, and she will need to restore and reconstruct h
herself to continue to rejoice in her life as a woman.
The “re-roses” series comprises digitally recreated roses made by
disassembling twenty roses into their constituent pieces, then
mixing and combining each piece to create a set of unique roses.
This represents the idea that a woman’s life may not retain the
perfect beauty of a freshly bloomed rose but can be restored and
reconstructed to define its own unique levels of splendor.
