To “give someone their flowers” is to recognize someone’s accomplishment. In this saying, it is insinuated that this acknowledgement is done so in a timely manner, so that the person is able to enjoy such recognition. This piece acts as a symbol of celebrating and accepting accolades in the future, even if we do not know why we are being given our flowers. In this case, the flower is slightly abstracted, preventing the viewer from seeing it from an entirely clear vantage point. While we all may have many goals, we don’t necessarily know the exact paths that we will take to achieve them. These abstractions were physically made in camera, indicating the importance of a decisive and deliberate presence in taking the next steps.
