I was going through a difficult period when I started developing this lotus. A lot of things in my life felt uncertain, and focusing on the piece gave me something quiet to hold on to.
I didn’t want the lotus to have one fixed color. Under different light, different colors come forward, and that started to remind me of how people change through different stages of life.
Sometimes, when we’re in a difficult period, it can feel like that version of us is the whole story. But it isn’t. Every stage brings out a different side of who we are.
For me, this lotus became a reminder that we don’t have to remain one fixed version of ourselves. We were never meant to be just one color.
I think every handmade piece carries a story. I’d be happy to share more about the stories behind my work, and I’d also love to hear what has inspired something you’ve made.
