Growth & Decay

Inspired by the lyrics “I want your death, you want my life”, I created a design cutting up squares of digitally scanned photography featuring both fresh, vibrant flowers and decayed, lifeless ones to symbolise the dichotomy in the song. The composition mirrors life as a puzzle, some pieces fit together seamlessly, forming something whole, while others remain warped or isolated. Some find harmony in connections, others struggle to align, ultimately, tearing bonds apart. As Robert Smith states, “there’s always war going on,” reminding us that even if we don't all fit into each other's grids, we will inevitably create conflict. The Cure - Warsong (new mix).
