Flower Girls: Rose

CHARCOAL/SKETCH | DIGITAL COLOR | 2023

Roses are Garden Fairies often hunted for their beauty. There are legends of one particular Rose worshipped as a deity among the others.

She was captured during the peak of “Lover’s Season”, amputated, and placed in a vase on display for a couple. During one magical night, the couple got into an intense argument, destroying the vase. Leaves grew from the hips of the Rose, giving her wings — and a chance at freedom.
