PAIR XVII // Sans Épines (without thorns)
This is my subtle take on romantic love without being sappy and corny, featuring two lovers pictured side by side in deep thought and infatuation. The vivid pastel tri-colour way for this pair inspired me not to take things too seriously and every once in a while, to stop and smell the roses. One side of the pair has yellow and pink colour blocks which represents the male's perspective and the latter which is pink and purple from the female's perspective ; Side by side, they share the pink common ground which stands for the birth of something new and together they celebrate their similarities and appreciate their differences. The cherry blossoms represent appreciating beauty while its there and to foster growth whether that is in yourself, relationships with your craft, passion or people.
