Artist’s Intention:
Not all flowers symbolize love and devotion. Some are seductive and deceptive, offering the promise of desire and unconditional acceptance. The Jimson flower (aka Devil’s Snare) is set onto a flowing wrought iron support, where it flaunts and invites all to swoon. The white onyx is translucent and iridescent, which emits a haunting aurora that distracts and lures you into the centre of the flower.
