Death do us part

This work was inspired by the vows of marriage. Lilies were used to symbolize the bond of love and commitment of a married couple. That underlying couples bond can only be broken after the death of a spouse. The two lilies show that love with one lily gently holding the other dying lily in its leaves as it sheds a single tear. An interesting interpretation from one viewer was that the lilies in the background representing the family left behind when a loved one dies. I have received comments regarding the dying lily bleeding. I believe this represents the reality of death and it really can’t be romanticized. It is a painful emotion for all involved and represents my dark reflections of experiencing such loss in my life.
