About

There is an adage that it is human nature to go through life-transforming suffering. Either you’re currently going through adversity, coming out of it, or Will be going through it. No one is immune to suffering. In suffering, most of us have the same goal and that is to heal. The greatest struggle is in the process. How do we get to healing?

“The Stained Lotus” is an invitation to come along on a woman's poetic journey to finding strength, her identity, and healing after years of struggling to 'keep it together' and the subsequent collapse of everything she valued. This journey is a dissection of suppressed emotions-a confrontation of past trauma, fears, insecurities, rejection, anger, and pain. It is a revelation that being vulnerable is a legitimate fear but necessary if one wants to heal. Vulnerability, whether to oneself or to the world, takes courage but once achieved, it is the most liberating feeling one can have. For those who commit to traveling the uncharted terrain to find healing, there is a realization that we are stronger than we could ever imagine. We're all Lotus flowers, stained and broken in one way or another, but beautiful and resilient-stronger than the adversities we go through.
