Mandala Lotus No14
2025

Taffeta  silk / Embroidery thread

A lotus flower is life-centred, shining beyond everything. The lotus flower is not affected by muddy water. It is a symbol of joy that shines through the mud. A person’s true joy and happiness must arise after they overcome hardships and break through muddy waters, like a lotus flower blooming.

Revelation

A river of gratitude flows deep underground.
We are unaware of its existence.
The lotus seed absorbs this water of gratitude and, passing through the darkness of the mud, it blooms into a flower on the surface of the earth.

I enter eternity, feeling each moment on the earth as I breathe.
I hold a needle with a thin golden thread in my hand and, feeling each moment of gratitude as I breathe, I descend the stairs one step at a time.

In the darkness, the only light is the thin golden thread.
I reach the deep source of the earth, a place where the stars shine and it is like the universe in the sky.
