This striking composition juxtaposes life and death through the contrast of delicate pink roses against an anatomical skeleton rendered in black and white. The skeleton is positioned in profile against a geometric background divided into sections of coral red, cream, and black. The roses appear to be growing alongside or through the skeletal figure, with lush green leaves and thorny stems. The background features subtle geometric patterns and textures, creating a modern, collage-like effect. The skeleton is detailed with precise anatomical features, particularly in the ribcage and skull structure. The color palette is predominantly composed of coral reds, blacks, whites, and soft pinks, with touches of green in the rose foliage. The overall composition creates a powerful meditation on the relationship between beauty and decay, perfectly reflecting the work's title.
