Pink is my favorite color, so for this project, I wanted to play around with various shades of pink. Upon reflection of this piece, it’s almost a bit reminiscent of a rose of some sort of red/pink-ish flower. It took me a couple sketches for me to fully map out how I wanted to set everything up, as it was initially difficult for me to conceptualize everything, but ultimately, it was an enjoyable project.
