As a way to destroy them, I want to set fire to a rose for my next series of photographs. I took photos of the roses while they were still closed to see what colour I thought worked best against the background.
I felt that the yellow worked the worse, with the yellows petals and green of the stem and leaves clashing together. Although I think the orange and pink work just as well as each other, I am drawn to the pink. I feel that the orange flames may not stand out against the orange petals when I set fire to it. I also feel that the pink has more romantic connotations than the other colours, which is something that roses are traditionally associated with. I like the idea of destroying the idea of romance by setting the rose on fire and feel that this comparisons creates a strong contrast and story. I will however try both pink and orange as I feel that both could work well when set on fire.
