About the artwork

When we come across a flower, our first thought is usually not to nurture it into good soil. Instead, we pull the flower out of the ground to hold it close to us, watching it slowly wither away even as we know it is not good. This reflection on our behaviour highlights the paradox of our admiration and destructive tendencies.

This philosophical thought highlights the human tendency to want to possess beauty and nature without considering the consequences. The flower, symbol of transient beauty, becomes a metaphor for our interactions with the world around us. It reminds us of the need to respect and nurture nature in its natural habitat, rather than extract and destroy it.

This artwork invites introspection and reconsideration of our relationship with nature. It is a perfect addition for lovers of profound art and philosophical reflections. This image raises questions about possession, beauty and respect for the natural world, offering a powerful visual story that is thought-provoking.
