Motherland Chronicles 12 - Winter's Rose

I have always been an admirer of Zhang Jing Na's work, and this is no exception. It's not very often that I am so floored by a photo that I will look at it for so long and enjoy it.

At first glance, you might actually mistake this for a surrealist painting. She looks like a doll, frozen in time with the snow falling softly in the background. I love the eyelashes.

The petals are very McQueen-esque. She's cold, but still alive. The bright red lips make a very strong statement. Absolutely perfect.

I imagine that, for now, she lies dormant in the wintertime. She is waiting for the springtime to blossom into something even more breathtaking.
