Tulips are the restless bunch. Even when cut, they sway, stir, stretch. Their movement is juxtaposed to the still solidity of the brass container and the sensible heftiness of the wooden table. The undulating nature of tulips is reminiscent of the transient nature of values that humans tend to attach to a particular object or symbol - those valuse tend to grow even when there is no more solid foundation left as was evidenced by the Dutch 17th century tulip bulb frenzy.
