Lotus candle centerpieces with garlands of flowers attached to the undersides of the petals.
5"x5", Watercolor, Framed
🙌🏽 This was a fun piece to create while also being a peaceful reminder of my internal goal throughout lifetimes.
🎉 I placed so much trust into the process & outcome that I was able to start late & complete it all within 2-3 hours. Plus, it's a full on watercolor only piece that I'm actually satisfied with!
🧘🏽♀️ Lotus flowers are really resonating with me but it's not just because I'm a South Asian & they happen to be the National Flower of India.
🧘🏽♀️ It's also because of:
- Color: PINK!
- Depth & beauty found within the growth process
- Many layers it unfolds to the inner beauty signifying the expansion of the soul
- Inner sun like center signifying the unfolding of layers to enlightenment
- Symbolizes being free from desire & material attachment
- Invokes illumination & purity of maan, vachan & kaaya (thought, speech & action)
"As the lotus flower is born in the water, grows in water & rises out of water to stand above it unsoiled, so I, born in the world, raised in the world, having overcome the world, live unsoiled by the world." - Buddha
