“Rising” is a contemporary artwork that portrays a tranquil Buddha face emerging gently among blooming lotus flowers. The imagery represents mental clarity and spiritual opening, where the upward placement and surrounding florals symbolize thoughts transforming into awareness and enlightenment.

The Buddha face is sculpted using texture paste and finished in metallic tones, creating a sacred yet modern visual contrast. The celestial background blends luminous shades of light and deep blues with silver, evoking the vastness of sky, water, and cosmic space. Metallic yellow, maroon, and gold form a radiant halo, representing wisdom, illumination, and spiritual awakening.

Lotus flowers and leaf motifs, also crafted with texture paste, add depth and dimension to the composition. The soft pink lotuses symbolize purity emerging from life’s depths, while the leaves represent growth, grounding, and interconnectedness.

The artwork captures a quiet journey from stillness to illumination, inviting the viewer to pause, breathe, and reconnect with inner calm amid the noise of everyday life.
