This is my life philosophy; 
Live every day like the first day, 
Regenerate yourself and rebirth, 
Live every day as if it was your last day. 
Naturally, I'm a Lotus woman
I like to be as free as a bird...

LOTUS FLOWER
Beneath the lotus’s delicate exterior lies a deeper meaning nearly as old as time. The flower holds great symbolic weight in many Eastern cultures and is considered one of the most sacred plants in the world.
It is regarded in many different cultures, especially in eastern religions, as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration, and rebirth. 
Its characteristics are a perfect analogy for the human condition: even when its roots are in the dirtiest waters, the Lotus produces the most beautiful flower.
To start, the lotus has a life cycle, unlike any other plant. With its roots latched in mud, it submerges every night into river water and miraculously re-blooms the next morning, sparklingly clean. In many cultures, this process associates the flower with rebirth and spiritual enlightenment. With its daily process of life, death, and re-emergence, it’s no wonder that the lotus holds such symbolism.
Because of these meanings, the lotus is often seen alongside divine figures in some cultures. For the Egyptians, the flower represents the universe. In Hindu culture, it is said that gods and goddesses sat on lotus thrones. And a longstanding Buddhist story states that the Buddha appeared atop a floating lotus, and his first footsteps on Earth left lotus blossoms
As divine as the Gods, the flower of rebirth was thought to contain magical properties as well. The ancient Egyptians believed lotuses had the ability to resurrect the deceased

"Kiln casting" technique is used for this work. 
I used a real lotus leaf for molding. 
This glass shaping technique, also known as the furnace shaping technique, is a technique that has significant similarities with sculpture and ceramics and is made by hand shaping.
In practice, the clay model of the glass sculpture is prepared, the plaster mold of the model is taken, then the glass pieces are placed in the mold and the glass is melted into the mold at about 840 degrees and baked at high temperature to take the shape of the model. The firing time varies depending on the thickness of the glass in a period of one to two weeks. After the glass has cooled, the mold is broken and the glass sculpture is cleaned and the outer surfaces are polished and the glass is given its final shape.

The glass leaf thickness appr 1 cm, the thickness with bird and brass leaves is nearly 5 cm

The base of this sculpture and decorative leaves are made of the antiqued brass. 

The work will be packaged as a whole.
