A Lotus at the Heart of an Oval Mandala
The design is organized as an ellipse rather than a perfect circle. An open lotus occupies the center, while successive rings of petals and leafy forms extend around it. Repetition connects the central flower with the surrounding botanical ornament and maintains a balanced arrangement from end to end.
Lotus Flowers and Their Watery Habitat
Lotuses grow rooted in mud beneath shallow water while their leaves and blossoms rise above the surface. Their broad leaves repel water effectively, so droplets often bead up and roll away. The flowers follow a daily rhythm, opening and closing in response to light and environmental conditions.
