Lotus 5

A luminous lotus rises from a dense, ink-dark ground, its silvered petals rendered with sculptural precision as if carved from moonlight and then set afloat. Behind it, a saturated wash of blues cascades downward, suggesting both submerged depth and cleansing rainfall, while suspended bubbles punctuate the space like quiet breaths—moments of thought surfacing and dissolving. The stark meeting of midnight black and aqueous blue turns the flower into a threshold image, where purity is not naïve but hard-won, blooming in defiance of gravity and stain.
