Dried Rose Petals
The dried rose petals represents body through time because it is the last stage of a rose in its life cycle. The rose grows into a flower bud, then bloom, and finally wilts and dies. To reach the wilting stage, the rose had been through all the other stages in time. This image is a symbol because it represents something abstract, such as old age, past love, or memories. The meaning of dried rose petals is not inherent, thus it must be learned. Furthermore, the meaning of a rose could be changed relative to the factors such as the setting and time.
