Ring of Wreath
Taken yet again in Trinity College, this yellow rose was given a spot of light. This was done through a hole shaped from the fingers of my friend, Jonathan and carefully directing it to the center of the flower. Wreath is normally used to describe the ring of plants which are often used as decorations or in ceremony. However, the word was used describe the rounded spot of light on the middle of flower.
Wreaths are commonly made by evergreens as a symbol for the strength of life, with these plants overcoming even the harshest winters. Such wreaths often use Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis) and can be categorized as laurel wreaths. Other components of a wreath can be pine, holly or yew, symbolizing immortality, and cedar, symbolizing strength and healing. The Greek god Apollo is often associated with wreaths, and was a god of life and health. This inspired the Greek to use the symbol as crowns of victory at the Pythian Games, a forerunner to today's Olympic Games. The circularity of wreaths can be used to symbolize eternity or immortality.
