ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Like the lotus flower that is born out of muddy water, we must honor the darkest parts of ourselves and the most painful of our life’s experiences, because they are what allow us to birth our most beautiful self. The lotus flower is often associated with honor, good luck, health and long life in many cultures.

AUTHOR
B. in 1972, X.D. Luo is a self-taught portrait photographer based in southern China. She specializes in using fabric, flower and other seasonal elements to express the feminine beauty and the deep connection between woman and nature, life and season.

Before starting a career in photography, she worked for IBM for nearly 10 years and gained multicultural experiences through international business trips. Nevertheless, due to a lack of interest in business management, she resigned and spent years backpacking off-the-beaten-track, which is the crucial cause and the inspiration of her path in photography.

As an amateur dancer and a yogini, she takes the advantage of her fairly well-shaped body (for her age) by using herself as the main subject to accomplish her own art projects during the COVID-19 lockdown.
