The Rusty Rose

A metal rose doesn’t whither and die. Rust nearly improves its appearance. It has no scent, but it won’t stick you with thorns and requires no care or gentle handling.

A rusty rose could symbolize our times. Easy, handy, and artificial. Industrial quality art copying reality. And dependable. None of the messy surprises that life comes with.

Now if we could only get it to reproduce itself…
