The lotus flower represents in the Eastern cultures a symbol of perfection (it´s not a case that Buddha is often shown meditating while sitting on a lotus), and overcoming all difficulties: it actually grows among the mud of the swamps till it stands on its stalk and blooms, immaculate, over the dirt.

Anna requested a stylized lotus flower.

Beauty often hides in simple things.

The shape of the stalk reminds us that beginnings are not always easy, but we can always find our way to overcome any difficulty and reach up to the light.
