My piece reveals my approach to time. This approach embraces the concept of taking my time and living at my own pace. I prefer to do things “on my own time,” while simultaneously enjoying and appreciating these fleeting moments. My piece reveals beautiful women, who are engaged in action and emotion, and a blissful child, who depict the notion of taking the time to “smell the roses.” This cliché of “smelling the roses” becomes a motif throughout the piece to symbolize the beautiful details of the world, which I believe are important to be observed. In addition, flowers take time to bloom, and this idea reflects this approach to time.
