Flower

This is a significant piece for several reasons. It appears technically insignificant but is in reality one of the more complex pieces I have ever done, there are no simple shapes in this piece. Unlike my other pieces this is not a mash up of cubes and spheres but a sculpted flower which is actually 3D (it appears 2D because of the rendering style). Artistically however, it's another matter. On the top half of the picture there is an elegant flower, singular and perfect. But it's perceived reflection is brutally twisted and disconnected, is there more to this than meets the eye? Then again I've been known to call this piece drizzle because it appears that the very soul of the flower is flowing from the stem and simply drizzling away into a very dark infinity, is the upright beauty in the top half but a husk? After all the head is very declined and points to the ground, the leaves appear shriveled and wilted, maybe it's a sad image, maybe it's a variation of "beauty is only skin deep." I let the viewer decide, in any case it's no mere flower.
