**History & Inspiration of the Artwork:

Root of Light

In nature, the lotus flower is born from darkness, rising through the mud until it breaks the surface in search of the sun.
In Root of Light, this symbolic journey takes shape on truck tarp, a material that, like the lotus, carries marks, history, and resilience.

The artwork reveals the strength of those who choose to grow even when their surroundings are harsh.
Light does not appear by accident: it is cultivated in the roots, in the unseen, in the part of the journey no one witnesses.

That is why this lotus does not simply bloom, it illuminates.

Root of Light celebrates the courage to remain steadfast, to transform what once seemed rough into beauty, to rise even when the path is unclear.

It is proof that every light has depth, and every soul has roots that support its ascension.

🌿 About the Truck Tarp

This recycled tarp once protected transported goods across long routes in Brazil. Signs of wear, stitching, traces of use, or small holes are not defects but authentic marks of its history.
Its strength, cultural identity, and exceptional durability (over 100 years) make it a powerful support for artistic expression.
