The work was created for an online group exhibition in Canada held in honor of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away in 2022, and was completed with the addition of raindrops. By layering multiple photographs of flowers, I created a rose that is soft and magical, yet proud and strong at the same time. I overlapped the raindrops with the image of tears, but when you look at the actual finished work, they seem to emanate from the roses. I also included a thought for my mother who passed away last spring.
