Like a bud bursting open to greet the sun, I’m celebrating May Day, or Beltane, by beginning a new project, where I hope to explore the symbolic world through art, illustration, documentation, and poetry. And what better way to celebrate this magical spring holiday than with flowers?!
A symbol for fertility, beauty, love, romance, and new life, as well as sympathy, mourning, and grief. Each flower has it’s unique meaning. Daisies symbolize peace, a white rose can be used to communicate purity, and the Victorians created an entire secret language coded in flowers.
Take some time today to stop and smell the roses
