“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”
–Georgia O’Keeffe

These flowers grow around our surroundings in Roosevelt Island, and not knowing the type of flower, I instantly named them Luminous Petals. Their color is not quite a pink, nor a purple nor white, but rather diaphanous and intriguing. The chartreuse colored spots seem to float on the petals due to their luminousity. It is of “a certain beauty”…
I am very much like Georgia O’Keeffe, and in childhood days I was always adorning myself with flowers. There were yellow and orange hibiscus flowers in my hair, black flower seeds in my bellybutton, and there were these red petals that resembled polished finger nails and we would pretend we were the wicked witch from the Snow White story.

Stop and look at the flowers around you, it is a universe for the moment…
