This artwork explores the delicate threshold between existence and finitude. Featuring a scorched edge and a lotus flower captured in a state of transition—half-blooming, half-fading—it confronts the cycles we often find difficult to face. Yet, it remains a celebration. By choosing the lotus, a symbol of enlightenment and purity, the artist highlights the concept of wholeness. From its roots to its seeds, every part of the lotus serves a purpose, mirroring the continuum of life. It is not a meditation on death, but a tribute to the persistent flow of being.
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
- Henry David Thoreau
