In my piece, Beauty of the Victoria Regia, I wanted to focus more on that spiritual essence. The Victoria Regia Lily has rich spiritual significance. It is often linked to rebirth, purity and enlightenment, and symbolises transformation and growth. Our country, yet again represented by the woman, is holding a lily bud, symbolising the potential we have yet to tap into. The woman is looking straight forward, not noticing the blossoming lilies that everyone else can see. The world has its eyes on Guyana right now and can see our purity and potential for transformation that we aren’t fully aware of. The water element in the background represents our land of many waters and the kindness and generosity that flows through the heart of our Guyanese citizens whenever we have visitors.
A special thank you to Ashley for allowing me to use her photos to create this piece.
