The rose as a flower symbolizes love, passion, and romance but the rose is also a symbol of achievement, completion, and perfection. As an artist this piece, “The Rose” represents my love and passion for the arts and my desire to achieve the perfection that I see in nature all around me. I strive for perfection that cannot be achieved but I always romanticize it in my heart and my thoughts, hoping one day I can feel my work is complete.
