500 Roses, 5 Circles, 5 Weeks
Site-specific Installation at a natural depression,
University Of Miami, Miami, 2002.
Video recording of the process
Limited edition prints, 19"x13"
The art-specific public installation, "500 Roses, 5 Circles, 5 Weeks," features five hundred red roses arranged in five circles with varying designs. These circles, each evoking oneness and movement, symbolize the beginning or the place where something starts to take shape. The roses, as ephemeral matter, embody the instability of time and its inevitable disintegration, reflecting transience and the ongoing process of change. The work transcends boundaries honoring the ephemerality of nature, questioning the relationship between the eternal and the ephemeral, the relevant and the irrelevant, and offering a broad range of interpretations.
A video was created documenting the rose’s decay.
