About the piece

Growth always begins in the depths. The lotus rises from the earth, passing through water to open toward the light while remaining connected to the ground that gave it life.

Seventh Vein green jade—a rare material with a rich natural color and dense structure—becomes an image of living growth, while the dark accents offer an earthly anchor. The bead is joined to a cord braided in the traditional Japanese kumihimo technique and framed by two black jade beads.
