Describing as the “flower of life” - the majestic lotus flower stands as a symbol for eternity, enlightenment, transformation, new beginnings and love. “For me, the lotus flower primarily stands for self-knowledge and its symbol is used to encourage us to step out of our comfort zone. With this symbolism I would like to indicate the human consciousness and the possible insight into sustainable protection. As an artist, I stand for long-lasting art and for the sustainability of our earth. With my motto “Forever. Unique.” - I artistically allude to the ambiguity of my glass art and our planet. My glass art is destined for eternity - but it will survive humanity - if we don’t finally wake up and help protect our living space.” (Peter Kuchler III. in 2021)
