I took this photograph because it was something that I could play around with more than my previous two. Those I could only take from differing angles, whereas in this shot, I could rearrange the flowers in addition to the angle I was taking it from. While I originally was just interested in capturing the roses themselves in their entirety, as I started taking pictures of them, I noticed the stark contrast between the deep red of the roses and the blue of the wall behind them. Rather than photographing the entire vase, I instead chose to focus on the flowers themselves and the wall behind them. I have always loved taking photos of flowers, but this was the first time I was in a controllable environment. The complexity of roses combined with the simple beauty that they displayed has always interested me, so it was great to be able to capture that combination.
