This painting portrays the quiet strength and humility of a lotus, emerging from the depths of murky water. Painted with circles, the piece captures the delicate bokeh effect, symbolizing the subtle beauty found even in adversity. The lotus, though rising from the mud, maintains its purity and grace, standing tall above the dirt. It reminds us that true beauty and strength lie not in grandeur but in humility—quietly flourishing in the face of challenges. This painting speaks to the quiet dignity of rising above, grounded in roots of grace, yet never forgetting the humility from which we grow.
