This sculpture was easier to make then the last one, being slightly smaller allowed me to get better access to the parts in the centre, being more comfortable and easier to work with. Again with each petal I individually cut them from bits of cardboard, then folded and bent them to produce curves and angles to look like a real natural flower. Overall I am happy with the outcome of this piece, emanating both life and death - creating an interesting juxtaposition in the process. The piece itself looks alive resembling a real life rose but taken out of its usual proportion, but the opposite side to this piece is that in reality it's not living. It is dead, not aging and not changing - a perfect example of how people are sometimes unwilling to face the truth of life coming to an end.
