No Bed of Roses

In this piece, a house is being emptied of its contents. The boxes in front of the fence hold the discarded belongings of a person departed, represented by the butterfly. The rose garden has been obscured, even trampled by the mass of discarded possessions. The loss is felt on many levels. The house itself appears slightly decrepit, and seems to be sinking into the water.
