Item Description
Oil, 11x14 inches unframed, gallery canvas 1.5 inches deep (no frame required)
The national flower of Vietnam is the lotus, a plant that is highly regarded in Southeast Asia, but particularly in Vietnam where it signifies purity, serenity, commitment and optimism.
In many parts of the world, the lotus flower symbolizes spiritual enlightenment and rebirth, based on its unique life cycle: with its roots situated in mud, it submerges at night into murky water and miraculously re-blooms every morning without residue on its waxy petals.
It is no surprise, therefore, that this flower symbolizes unwavering faith to so many.
Artist's Note:
The lotus is visually deceiving. The flower appears to be delicate and fragile but in fact is immensely resilient, as suggested in its reflection in the dark, muddy water.
Item Special Note
Hearts & Homes for Refugees' Note:
The Refugee Act of 1980 was created in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, as hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese and Cambodians fled political chaos and physical danger in their homelands. Since then, the U.S. has admitted an average of 95,000 refugees per year. But in Fiscal Year 2020, just 11,800 refugees were admitted to the U.S. Advocating for increased refugee admissions is an important part of the work of Hearts & Homes for Refugees.
