A clean, vertical composition of a coiled serpent wrapped tightly around blooming lotus petals. The contrast between the sharp, textured scales and the soft, flowing flower gives it a calm but dangerous energy. It feels precise and intentional — quiet tension rather than chaos.

Inspired by traditional Japanese and Eastern symbolism, the serpent represents awareness, instinct and transformation, while the lotus is tied to purity, growth and rising from difficult environments. Together, they create a balance between grounded reality and spiritual elevation.

This piece is about control and clarity. Staying sharp, staying aware, while continuing to grow through whatever environment you’re in. The serpent holds tension, the lotus brings calm — it’s that balance between edge and peace.

Works best as a vertical placement — forearm, calf or spine. Also sits nicely on the ribs or inner arm where the shape can flow naturally with the body.
