From the setup I'm guessing it wasn't a pleasant experience to her. Maybe that's why she turned the red flower away from the candle.

I met a young lady at the church who actually made the sand drawing named Dagmar, I simply captured it the way she envisioned it, I didn't move anything. So it really does leave you to speculate about what caused her to trace this image and what meaning this image has for her.

Very romantic, Dale. Wish the red flower was turned towards the candle. This way we will see more of the flower, and, I think, more red will be reflected on the sand (not sure if it's true, though). Drawing a heart on the sand is a clever touch.
