"The painting may depict a lotus, but in fact, the focus is on the woman in the boat. Her graceful and shy demeanor, combined with the vibrant red of her dress, is mirrored in the lotus flower. The profound meaning within the painting is mutual longing."

In her beautiful large eyes, there was an innate pride and a hidden sense of dark despair.
The crowd gasped.
It was Brenda Lopez.
Upon closer reflection and looking at the painting again, it did indeed seem to have that implication.
