I am going to do an artwork that symbolizes gay marriage in Malaysia. And for that, I did a few research to support the item I used to symbolize the situation.
First, I decided to use flowers. Flowers are known for it's symbol of romance. This can be verified here.
Next, for the color of the flowers, I decided to use pink and purple.
