Bloom No.2: The Violet

Love letters and lilac days

In early 20th century literature and life, violets symbolised sapphic love.

Passed in poems, tucked into notes, or gifted between women who could not speak their affection aloud. Their petals held what words could not.

This piece honours those secret exchanges and the tenderness behind them.
