Rose Concept: The Dancer of the Fallen Leaves

Deep amongst the eternal tangle of hostile thorns, poison ivies, and dewy burgundy roses, there she is, dancing gracefully in peaceful solitude…

The dark interior of the age-worn castle looms behind her, with its giant windows wide open to let the autumn wind play with the gossamer curtains, just as the copper leaves swirl around her as if copying her lithe movements.

With an effortless pirouette, she spins around and around, while her white filigree mask and delicate tulle skirt are gently catching the light as the endless grey sky allows in the slightest rays of sunshine.

Rose Concept Essence

Harmoniously coexisting contrasting elements create the beautiful and ethereal harmony of this creative concept. 

The innocence of the lightweight ballet dancer is in clear juxtaposition with the overgrown castle grounds where everything is dimmed and fading away slowly in this autumnal atmosphere.

Her quiet and joyous solo dance is the centerpiece of the ensemble of different shapes, colors and textures, that both complement and enhance her otherworldly aura.
