Peony No. 15
Peony is named after Paeon, who was the student of Asclepius, the Greek God of medicine and healing. Paeon was the physician of the gods and Asclepius became jealous of him, which Zeus saved him of his wrath by changing him into a Peony flower.
The symbol of these flowers and cultural significance is what interests me in these images, how their forms influence the viewer and interpretation from their personal experience.
