The Wild Rose

“The Wild Rose” takes its cue from the song Where the Wild Roses Grow, drawing on its mix of beauty, darkness, and quiet melancholy. Broad, interlocking forms create a sense of tension and intimacy, their movements echoing the emotional shifts within the narrative.
A pale veil settles across much of the background, softening the deeper tones beneath it and creating a surface that feels both calm and concealing. Above, darker passages of black and brown emerge with a heavier presence, while touches of red and pink introduce a more fragile, luminous register.
The work follows the atmosphere of the song — its contrasts, its undercurrents, and the way tenderness and unease can occupy the same space.
