"Inspired by the symbolism and beauty of the Lotus flower combined with a mandala and target. The mandala and target are conflicting symbols of harmony and attack. The lotus is something beautiful that grows out of the mud. I see the Lotus as a metaphor for what is especially needed in this moment… an effort to lift ourselves out of the mud of political feuding and environmental irresponsibility in pursuit of harmony with each other and the planet." -Shepard
