While a lotus (also known as nelumbo) is believed to convey strength and durability with its clean rise through tough mud, this is also informative of extraordinary ways of the human capability regarding what people can accomplish. To initiate a purification within a human and build strength whatsoever, physical needs must be first met in order to move forward.

The modern human is easily lost. Growing up, a child gets consumed by myths that are infused into the cultural history and theory surrounding the child. Contextually, this envelopes the lotus and the myths are responsible for the misrepresentations in the symbolism of the flower. People make constant attempts at putting pieces of this puzzle together, attempting to relate as they try to figure out their own placement on earth. Inevitably, messages about a lotus are not quite clearly understood by result of the exaggerations. Its rise from the mud is only so because of the nourishment delivered to it by its ground sources.

THE LOTUS /Nelumbo

The above message of the flower bears a direct relationship to the one from ancient Indian teachings, based on earthbound pleasures. Inscribed in this series is a visualization of a special lotus flower quality—its mysterious ability to make organisms around it feel high spirited and blissful through its constant discharge of vibrations.

Human Emotion is my observation of humans as they constantly exchange psychological and social behavioural traits with one another through modes of communication on a daily cycle. Attitudes and beliefs are exchanged, rejected and mocked.
