Patrick’s Presents
25 x 36"
Charcrylic
 
Patrick loves ambiguity.
 
The bouquet reads as the obvious “present”—a token of affection, apology, or desire.
 
But Patrick cannot be simple; his body complicates that. The roses are what’s offered, but his naked body is what’s truly at stake.
 
In intimate exchanges, the real gift is often the self—time, energy, patience—while the flowers are a stand-in.
 
I suppose it’s up to you, then. Which is more valuable?
