Visiting my childhood home in Wakefield on the 25th of June 2022, I was struck by the rose bush in the front garden. It had always been there, yet that day, it felt different, more vivid, more alive. The deep pinks caught the light in a way that made them almost glow. That year, I found myself gravitating more towards pink, a colour I’d never typically chosen, but one that suddenly felt right. I knew I had to capture it.
