Reflection Series is a public program that invites visitors to slow down, look closely, and experience contemporary art through intimate sessions in the galleries.

“Tracing the Lotus: From Symbol to Experience” invites participants to explore the lotus as one of the most enduring and evolving symbols in art. Moving across Asian artistic traditions, Buddhist thought, and contemporary artistic practice, the talk traces how the lotus has carried diverse meanings throughout history, from purity, transformation, and spiritual awakening to artistic investigation and sensory experience.

Inspired by the Red Breath prints from 1996 by Montien Boonma, this program explores artistic techniques in printmaking. Although printmaking is not widely recognized as a major part of Boonma’s practice, these works reveal his unique, experimental approach to the medium, inviting a deeper exploration of these rarely exhibited artworks and the process of printmaking itself.
