Roses and Reactions

This piece features one of my original characters holding a test tube with smoke/gas emerging from it. The background is made up of three layers. The first layer is a halftone pattern, the second layer has many roses interwoven together and extending outwards from the character, and the third layer is a circular pattern made up of different types of chemistry flasks. For this artwork, I wanted to explore how geometric and organic forms could combine to create an interesting composition, hence I paired the straight lines and angles of the flasks with the softness and curves of the roses and their leaves and stems. As a student currently studying chemistry, I wanted to put my knowledge of the different types of chemistry glassware to use in this artwork, and so I included volumetric flasks, Erlenmeyer flasks, pear flasks, Florence flasks, etc.

Creativity means bringing your ideas and pieces of your inner world into the world around you. I also believe that creativity means constantly exploring ways to improve things and expanding your limits as to what you are capable of.
