The lotus is an old and significant symbol in many religions, especially Hinduism and Buddhism. Standing for purity, because it emerges from the dark water and mud but remains unstained, the lotus blossom is a poetic image and visual icon. The symbolic transformation from roots mired in decomposed mater to a radiant flower opening to space and light at the waters surface, represents a journey of the spirit from base nature to spiritual awareness. The lotus represents the spirit of life, enlightenment and purity.
Koi fish are celebrated not only for their allure but for their ability to surmount life’s obstacles. Japanese legend tells of a koi traveling along a river to be challenged by a harsh current. The koi transcends the difficult waters as it becomes stronger and certain of its journey, eventually transforming into a free and flying dragon. Koi fish represent our ability to persist through life’s turmoil to reach a state of enlightenment.
