陸 FamilyThe universe indeed works in funny and mysterious ways. This commission came to me at a time when I was healing from heartbreak and mourning a loved one—paralleling the client’s state.

To find closure, the client requested a custom design to honor his late wife. The design will also be engraved on a tombstone.

Their surname is surrounded by calla lilies, which were his wife’s favorite flowers. The flowers represent purity, faithfulness, and holiness.

I drew five calla lilies to represent the couple and their kids. They are all surrounding the family name with connecting lilies to represent their unbreakable and interconnected bond. There is a circular base shape to the artwork to represent earth and one calla lily reaching for the heavens.

This piece has not only given me the opportunity to help with closure for this family, but for myself. Listening to his story and creating this piece has undoubtedly aided in my healing as well.
