About this work
The lotus blooms and fades in a single day, but on the deep black of lacquer, Le Minh's lotus blooms forever. Gold leaf is laid by hand through dozens of sanded layers, so that whenever light tilts across it, the flower glows as if lit from within.
In Vietnamese culture the lotus symbolises purity rising from the mud. This is a work for a space that calls for solemnity and spiritual depth — an altar room, or a quiet corner to return to.
