“Most people are afraid of suffering,” writes Zen Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh. “But suffering is a kind of mud to help the lotus flower of happiness grow. There can be no lotus flower without the mud.”
The essence of the alchemical process is transformation. This little jewel boasts three transformational life forms....
The dragonfly that, from an underwater nymph, moults up to 15 times before emerging into air as an iridescent magical creature. The frog that, astonishingly, morphs over 24 hours from an aquatic tadpole to an adult capable of living on land; almost every organ having to change in the process. And the lotus that, first submerged and surrounded by mud, pushes through its murky surroundings towards clarity; in time breaking the surface and blooming to expose its beauty.
A deeper gaze reveals an “A” for Alkemi, the planet Saturn, a Crown, a Musical Note and Stars. The encouragement of Light guides the lotus from mud to sky. The design is laser etched on the soundboard and then hand tinted for contrast.
