The lotus is the symbol of unity, the pure spirit of man. It grows from the mud and opens its petals in the sun. It is a sacred flower in every Eastern culture. Its bud, flower and seed represent the past, present and future.
Pink is the colour of acceptance; green is the colour of the Heart Chakra and hope. The mandorla shape connects Heaven and Earth.
The small patterns embroidered with golden metallic thread are little trees of life.

The background is white organza on white cotton, embroidered with golden metallic thread by hand.
The lotus flower is thread-painted by a manually controlled sewing machine.
