The reference photo I took highlighted the lovely light hitting the top petals, contrasting with the gorgeous purples and indigo of the other petals. Violets have long symbolized faithfulness, humility, and remembrance - making this piece not just beautiful art, but a meaningful tribute to lasting bonds.
