Roses and thorns

In the search of inspiration for the current collection I'm working on for school I found myself thinking a lot about the possible reasons why I hate yarns so much, after much reasoning and self analysis I came to the conclusion of yarns giving me the idea of chaotic and messy, for instance when you knit there always comes a time when the yarns get all tangled and you feel like you're going to die out of pure frustration -I'm exaggerating but you get my point, don't you?-

So back to the research, I -being the shameless fan of Korean pop music I am- immediately made a connection with a music video from last year’s sensation artist Lee Hi. The sets in 'Rose' are incredibly neat and the overall video is so rich visually, it simply gives me more reasons to add to my list of  why I love Korean 'over produced' music so heartedly. 

The whole symbolism part is rather nice and of course when you understand the lyrics of the song, the picture above with the tangled dry stalks of roses trapping the girl make a lot more sense but I'm not planning to talk about it in this entry, the point was just to find something related to my visual research so I can progress a little bit more and find some themes to develop deeper.

Lee Hi's Rose gave me millions of things to think about, although honestly I dislike her voice and I sincerely can't stand her, this song is probably one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard and I totally consider that every person in the world should listen at it at least once in its lifetime regardless of being or not being able to understand what on Earth she's singing, but just a clue, the girl is in fact telling her lover to leave her because just like a rose she 'might be beautiful but her thorns will only end by hurting him'. Nice, isn't it?
