NENÚFARES (water lilies) and ECO's collection is part of an conscious effort of Miryam Monasterios to draw our attention to her interest and concern for preserving the environment, to make it more sustainable and to be less aggressive to it in all our daily activities.
That is why she provides us with the gift in glass, on a permanent basis, of this exotic plant whose flower grows lonely in peaceful ponds and whose symbolism is abundant in the cultures of the Middle and Far East, of wich, one of the most outsanding belongs to the lotus flower, as it is also known, due to its great spiritual significance as a transmutation symbol. Each color expresses a meaning: White, Spiritual perfection and purity of mind; Blue: Wisdom & Knowledge; Rose, the supreme loto; Red: Love and compassion. Since the water lily grows and flourishes in waters where oxygen poverty makes it impossible to develop other plants, lotus reminds us that, even amid the difficulties and chaos, can flourish the best in each of us. This allegory is also favorable from the perspective of hope that Miryam has of people and life itself.
