Description
J'ai voulu ce matin te rapporter des roses ;Mais j'en avais tant pris dans mes ceintures closes
Que les noeuds trop serrés n'ont pu les contenir.
Les noeuds ont éclaté. Les roses envolées
Dans le vent, à la mer s'en sont toutes allées.
Elles ont suivi l'eau pour ne plus revenir ;
La vague en a paru rouge et comme enflammée.
Ce soir, ma robe encore en est tout embaumée...
Respires-en sur moi l'odorant souvenir.
- Marceline Desbordes-Valmore

For me this is one of your best works of art. The technical values are high and help to showcase the art. The Tonal Quality is wonderful (only missing a small amount of the highest highlights. But it is perfect like that, because it adds softness and AGE to it. There is no blowout.
This is the part where great art tell a story, sets, mood and inspires emotion. EXCELLENT WORK.

There lies this same feeling, this same mood on almost all of your work. Well that feeling is actually you. You make your work unique. Your expression never shows a glimpse of happyness, just a mixture of a whole other kind of feelings, moods or concepts. Dreaming, spaced out, like you're half in this reality and with your other half you're somewhere else. I find it very intriguing this kind of personality you're showing through your photos, it's full of secrets and mistery. I wonder if this keeps on going in your everyday life...
As for this particular shot, well the pairing couldn't be better. It just opens the gate for new questions. What if the flowers return? And why do they return? Flowers are usually vividly colored and they usually make people happy, like when spring comes again and brings this tide of colors in the blooms, it is a reason of joy and renewal for many.Yet there are no colors on this shot. And that flower is nothing like a flower that I was talking about. So I wonder if it is a reason for being happy or not? Your expression is very determined and like demanding. You definitely expect something to happen when that particular flower returns. Maybe you don't know either what it brings. Anyway, just to sum it up, I think that your works are full of questions and are a good subject for interpretation. Just keep it on!

To see this in color would really bring out more meaning to the title. At least I think so. I do love this though. Comparing a person to a flower? It can be done many times.
