In "Women Who Survive," Ethyl Eichelberger's video features montages of performances that include the line "a rose is a woman's best friend," highlighting its association with femininity and endurance. The flower also appears in Peter Hujar's "Candy Darling on Her Deathbed" (1973), where Warhol superstar Candy Darling lies surrounded by roses, despite her terminal illness. In contrast, Genesis Belanger's ceramic bouquet "Double Standard" features grotesque, human-like fingers emerging from the flowers, subverting traditional notions of beauty and desire. The rose is also explored in Sara Cwynar's "Rose Gold," which examines consumerism and power through its association with the Apple iPhone's rose gold color.
