The Motif of Lotus on Rocks

“Creating 2D paintings alone wasn’t enough for me. I wanted to experiment with drawing in outdoor spaces. I chose chalk because it was easy to work with and produced a striking visual effect on different surfaces. Additionally, chalk was an affordable and readily available material, which proved very convenient when I enlisted others to help create drawings on a large scale. Furthermore, its erasable nature aligned perfectly with my goal of avoiding any permanent impact or damage to the surfaces I worked on.”
