Thoughts Behind This Artwork:

Do You know, why does a lotus gracefully grow in the mud?

The lotus is a magical flower whose petals blooms one by one. The lotus knows, in order to bloom beautifully, it has to first accept the mud. It is a courageous survivor; it pushes its way through muddy waters and finds the sunlight.  As the bud hits the surface of the water and drinks in the sunlight, a single petal opens, signifying an achievement. Each petal that opens is an achievement of survival, life and opportunity. A lotus has strength and beauty, it is able to overcome all of its environmental obstacles and show the world it’s beauty.

The mud represents the obstacles of our life We too overcome our daily obstacles each day but we forget to celebrate them. We too have achievements every single day but we overlook them. We forget to celebrate small achievements (like being calm, being on time, smiling at others etc).

The lotus represents an awakened mind.Hence, in order to grow and gain wisdom, first we must accept the daily hurdles of life, celebrate our small achievements and look out to opportunities thrown to us by the UNIVERSE. Let’s unfold our hidden potential one petal at a time.
