The Rebirth of Madame Carnation
The Rebirth of Madame Carnation
Madame Carnation has been killed by the flowers that possess her body. She awakens in a purgatory environment, a large garden inhabited by nature spirits representing flowers where one by one she discovers more about herself and how she understands and deals with her trauma. The flower spirits tell an allegorical tale of love, in all its forms, and the fear and understanding that comes with it. As I delve into her conversations about love in its many forms, her journey also serves as mine. Through this story, I gain a greater understanding and acceptance of my trauma and of life. I sincerely hope that Madame Carnation’s journey may be as healing for others as it has been for me.
