"Los Angeles is a city built upon generations of people coming and going; bringing with them their personal experience, cultures, and outlook upon the world. Los Angeles is not only for everyone, it is made by everyone, even if at times it can be difficult to remember. To emphasize this point, I chose to accent this fact by displaying two different worlds: a flower, beautiful in its own right, isolated in its own world sitting behind the window. Yet beyond it’s simple beauty lies a more wild place, not so pruned nor so clean but made more so beautiful by the variety and diversity that lay within a garden
not just of simple flowers, but of wrapping vines, bushes, bees, and more. The coloring is imperfect, the lines at times flawed, it is an unfinished garden with room to grow even more." -- Marie Angellene Pamiroyan
