In "Embraced," a meditating figure cut from brick-red paper, embossed with leaves and vines, sits inside a ring of lotuses filled with deep autumn reds, browns, and greens. A small gold lotus glows at the heart, and a larger shimmering gold lotus crowns the circle above the head. All around, flecks of red, orange, and gold glitter scatter like leaves on the wind. For me, this piece is about the feeling of being held: warm, steady, and wrapped in the colors of the season.
