you you me you 

love me love me love me love me 

desire deeper meaning passion mortality hurt feelings emotional synthesis

hoping praying wishing longing 

flowers carry deep symbolic weight, tied to purity, desire, death, celebration, and hope.

drawing from traditions like “he loves me, he loves me not,” where petals become symbols of longing, vulnerability, and fate, the flower becomes both subject and structure- a vehicle for mapping emotion, memory, and projection.

words are selectively placed on and around the flower, attaching meaning to its delicate anatomy. by isolating words and attaching them to specific parts of the subject, the work becomes both diagram and poem.
