ROOTED

The lotus doesn’t avoid muddy water, it relishes it.

Thriving in murky water, the lotus flower symbolizes resilience, as its leaves naturally repel impurities while sheltering wildlife, like this dragonfly finding refuge in its shade.

The neon red halo surrounding the lotus captures its life force. Below the surface, its rhizome system anchors deep, making its foundation unshakeable.

The painting honors anyone who has navigated adversity, just like the lotus transforms its environment into a home for itself and others.
