Summer Roses is a digital embroidery shaped by a season that feels unsettled and out of step. Roses bloom in excess, layered and full, yet the atmosphere remains cool, as if summer has arrived without its warmth. Flowers overlap in a dense circular drift, held in place by twisting vines that suggest cycles repeating rather than moving forward. At the centre, two slugs inch slowly across the surface, unhurried and persistent, indifferent to seasonal expectations. They become unlikely markers of time, thriving where conditions blur. The work reflects a summer that hesitates—lush but uncertain—where growth continues despite mixed signals, and nature adapts quietly to a climate that no longer behaves as it once did
