Katharine Rogers, Immersion (ANIMAL & NATURE 2023)

This photographic series, focusing on the lotus flower, explores their beauty, texture and resilience. Symbolically known for their purity, lotus flowers struggle to bloom, pushing their way up through the mud to burst into life on the surface. After a storm, when winds and heavy rains have battered them, these plants persist and thrive in challenging environments.
