Lotus Gate 2

Lotus Gate 2 is a free standing sculpture that explores the theme of transformation in the face of adversity, showing the erosion and entropy experienced during health struggles, while highlighting the beauty and strength that emerges from what remains. The piece uses the lotus flower as a metaphor for resilience, just as the lotus rises from murky waters to bloom, so too do individuals find healing and beauty through their most challenging experiences.

Lotus reflects the delicate balance between decay and regeneration. The erosion of the material suggests the inevitable passage of time and the toll that physical and emotional hardship can take. However, rather than focusing solely on loss, the piece emphasizes the beauty that can be born from such experiences—the strength and grace that come with enduring hardship and emerging transformed.
