Lotus-New Journey -Oil, Acrylic & Collage 16"x20"

This painting, titled “Lotus-New Journey,” eloquently captures the essence of Eisenhower’s quote: “Accomplishments will prove to be a journey, not a destination.” The woman on the left side symbolizes the necessity of stepping aside to allow the journey to commence, representing our tendency to sabotage our own thoughts and become our own worst enemies. The lotus, a powerful symbol within the painting, narrates the story of overcoming obstacles. It illustrates how we can rise above life’s challenges, much like a lotus blooms above the mud, as we pursue the journey toward our dreams and accomplishments.
