"Rose Garden" displays a sea of roses, a universal symbol of love, with the meaning being shared across various cultures. Yellow and Lavender colors are the most prominent; the Yellow Rose has become associated with friendship, warmth, and caring, and the rare hue of Lavender is often used to convey enchantment, adoration, and love.
"Initially, all my interpretations of painting myself as surroundings were completely erratic. I was standing there doing nothing, just standing there. As years passed and I became more familiar with my search, I became part of the landscape; I started moving, then you have images where I am imitating the landscape and putting my hands over my face because I felt more comfortable." - Cecilia Paredes.
