About this piece
A tightly framed red rose fills the image, its curled center set low and left beneath broad, overlapping petals. Brilliant highlights catch the water droplets against saturated scarlet and deep shadow, giving the flower a sculptural, intimate presence.
The story
On this May day, the world narrows to a rose and the water resting on its surface. Droplets cling to curved edges, holding small points of light above the dark folds. The eye follows each petal inward, where scarlet gives way to near-black. Nothing spills; the flower holds its brightness in stillness.
