Description

In this vibrant photograph, Flack has arranged various symbols of traditional femininity: jewels, a fragrance bottle, and a rose. The silver winged figure, the hood ornament from a Rolls Royce, is arranged at center, an ornament symbolizing freedom and movement, but somewhat out of place here, separated from its function. The clock and cut orange serve as reminders of beauty’s transience.
