Funeral
This sympathy card features a contemplative floral illustration that feels beautifully in tune with the quieter corners of Whitechapel in the early hours. Tall, willowy stems emerge from a soft band of silvery greens and greyed-lavenders, each topped with fine, umbrella-shaped flower clusters in shades of mauve, violet, and powdery blue. The flowers are rendered with such delicacy that some petals seem to blur into the background, creating a sense of movement and gentle impermanence. Across the card, translucent washes of pale purple and cool blue flow into one another, much like the shifting light one might notice walking near Whitechapel Gallery on a calm, overcast morning. Hovering among the blooms are butterflies painted with the lightest touch, their wings just hinted at in soft indigo and lilac, embodying the themes of transition, remembrance, and quiet hope. Nothing in the design feels heavy; the composition leaves open spaces between stems and branches, as though allowing room for breath and reflection. The cool colour palette wraps the scene in a hush, calming and dignified, offering a sense of shared silence rather than bright distraction. As a florist serving families around Whitechapel, Aldgate, and the neighbouring streets, I see in this artwork the same care we take with funeral and sympathy arrangements-balancing beauty, restraint, and genuine empathy. This card's image feels like a pause in the heart of the city, an invitation to sit with memories and emotions at a gentle, human pace, supported by the soft, enduring presence of nature.
