As the title ‘Women’s emotional state’ suggests, this artwork expresses the complex and multi-layered aspects of a woman’s emotional landscape by fusing flowers and the human form. The central figure has a blooming white rose in place of a face, surrounded by a tangle of yellow, pink, and mysterious blue roses. These flowers symbolize the diverse emotions that constitute a woman’s inner world, such as joy, purity, sorrow, and enigma. The composition, featuring multiple arms and hands seemingly embracing and touching one another, suggests either a violent mixing of emotions or an intense desire and internal conflict to hold onto these feelings. The rich coloring and soft oil painting technique create a sensual yet dreamlike atmosphere, visually realizing the complex yet beautiful world of a woman’s emotions that defies simple definition.
