The painting shows three roses that are slightly wilted, but still painted in vivid, expressive colors. They’re part of my “Pretty Dead Flowers,” a motif I created and keep returning to in my works. To me, these flowers represent mental health. Even when they’re past their bloom, they’re still beautiful and still matter.
The roses are a reminder that you don’t stop having value just because you’re tired, fragile, or not at your best. Beauty doesn’t disappear - it just changes.
