War of the Roses

I am often inspired to photograph places, people and objects, and the photography itself inspires me further. I was particularly interested in taking these images because of the endless layers that the flowers are made up of. I began to picture such structures being made of paper, of glass and of steel to, on one hand emphasise the delicate nature of the roses, and, in the last instance, to contradict their nature entirely. Of course, these are mere ideas, but it gives an example of how a simple photograph can be the beginning of a new concept or project.
