San Minn is a key figure in the early experimental artistic practice in Myanmar. His work always demonstrates consistent interest in social themes, executed through a bold use of colour, forceful lines and striking images assembled to convey symbolic and often surreal content. This work was created soon after his imprisonment between 1975-1978 for his involvement in the anti-government demonstration of 1974. The artist symbolically incorporates the colours and the star motif from the national flag of the Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma used between 1974-2010 in the clothes worn by a woman standing dignified and her head replaced with a bouquet of blooming roses. An actual metal chain necklace bearing the word “Love” has been sewn onto the canvas. The political undertone seems to be left intentionally ambiguous by juxtaposing images taken from the then newly introduced flag with the symbols of emphemerality and adolescene like "love" and the blooming bouquet. The work is an early example of the surrealistic expression the artist becomes known later. The work was seen as an ominous sign by the censorship authorities when it was exhibited at the 2nd Gangaw Village Art Exhibition in 1979, leaving censorship marks on the front and back of the canvas.
