The lotus symbolizes rebirth because this striking flower emerges from muddy water. This work was designed as an escape from the current turmoil throughout the world to lift a viewer’s spirit through its beauty and meaning.
The pink-tipped flower and bud are taken from a portion of a drawing of a lotus (also known as an Egyptian bean). The lotus stem is represented by a portion of a necklace that I designed from two semi-precious stones (rose quartz and rhodochrosite), Murano glass and freshwater pearls. While the stem of a lotus is straight, I found a sinuous stem more fitting here, contrasting with the straight lines throughout much of the work. The frog comes from a photograph of a portion of a Faberge work. Custom framed in wood with museum glass.
