Lilium

What sorcery it would be to freeze moments long past their expiration date, to catch a post-mortem glimpse of things that are long gone. Still life, the freeze - the motion, the spirit. Anchored to reality - yet victim to change. I honor those things that forever alter me while mourning their passing. One of the first words in Latin to mean flower, lilium, has come to symbolize both life and death. The lily is known for healing heartache after a loss, and celebration of life. Cut flowers offer one final spectacle before they wither. To capture their beauty in death, the beauty in endings, the beauty in all the hardest things, is a healing. Reconciling the irreconcilable and finding magic.
