A rose by any other name might smell as sweet, but in this series, it’s got a bit more bite. Traditionally dripping with symbolism — love, beauty, fragility — the rose is a timeless muse. But here, Tom has taken a detour through the back alleys of urban decay. Think cracked concrete and dripping paint, where graffiti blooms like rebellion conjured with confident yet hesitant youthfulness, delicate petals, and the unapologetic scrawl of street art. The result is a layered visual narrative where nature meets neglect, beauty defies ruin, where only the rose remains untamed.
