In "Unfolding," a meditating figure cut from pale pink feather-patterned paper sits in front of a great lotus opening behind it. Half its petals are hot-pink glitter and half are the same soft feather pattern, as if the figure and the flower are made of one thing. Small glitter lotuses bloom at each hand, and at the base a pink lotus rests on a holographic one that flashes rainbow colors. For me, this piece is about abundance: how much opens up, petal by petal, when we give it room.
