"Ghost; the Cost of Control" suggests a deeper narrative that intertwines themes of love, loss, and the complexities of control in relationships.
The term "Ghost" symbolizes the fleeting nature of romance and attraction, much like the delicate and transient beauty of flowers. It reflects how relationships can be vibrant and alive one moment and then fade into memories. The juxtaposition of the bright pinks and greens with the gold outlines reflect the contrast between passion (love and lust) and the constraints that control imposes. While love can be beautiful, it can also be complicated and sometimes painful when control becomes a factor. It also implies memories of past loves—those lingering feelings that haunt us. It speaks to how unresolved issues in relationships can leave a mark, influencing new beginnings and our capacity to trust again.
