Came across this piece in Hosier Lane by @anamillas — a skull with a single red rose beneath the words “Not the flowers we want.” It made me pause. In a laneway full of vibrant murals, this one felt quieter — but heavier.
It’s a tribute to the many women still living under the weight of control — from governments, workplaces, relationships, or strangers on the street. A reflection of their quiet strength and the courage it takes just to move through the world.
Created for International Women’s Day 2024 — and for every day that the struggle continues.
I really like that, and the messaging behind it
The message is the real hero here. Thanks Sarah!
Sobering.
True. Thanks Janet.
very thoughtful piece, you’ve made me stop and think this morning too
At first I didn’t like it because I don’t like skulls. But knowing the meaning of the art piece made me think differently. Thanks Becky.
yes the meaning behind it makes a huge difference
