Respect for the rose means you must still respect the thorn even if it makes you bleed.
Suisen in the language of flowers means respect.
My artwork shows a beautiful woman who is admired by all. She is given magnificent gifts in addition to the claims of affection by different people from places far and beyond. Despite that, nothing changes the fact that to them she is just a figurehead, a doll to smile and welcome all of their advances. No one sees her for who she truly is. Her scars remain a secret and her innate desires buried beneath a blanket of lies. The dragon represents those desires. All her thorns must be hidden despite her desire to live, to love and to be respected.
