Original artwork description:

The quote “A rose is a rose is a rose” comes from the American writer Gertrude Stein. It first appeared in her 1913 poem Sacred Emily.

The phrase plays with language itself. It suggests that simply naming a thing—like saying “rose”—invokes all the associations tied to it: scent, beauty, transience, symbolism. Stein emphasizes the power of the word, not just the object.

Later, it was also seen as a precursor to linguistic or postmodern ideas: language creates reality.
