Withered Roses in a White Vase
Since the ancient times, people have been using flowers to express their feelings.
Red roses are given to show love and passion. The number of roses also holds a meaning. Two roses means a bond between two lovers, a mutual love.
Three roses represents three words: I love you.
Five roses says I love you very much.
Seven roses means I belong to you.
However, withered roses have different meanings. They are believed as a symbol of old love, something that had happened in the past or that the love is dead.
For myself, the withered roses are roses at their most beautiful. Perhaps because they are at their final appearance.
Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper, dimension of 40 x 60 cm.
