My internship at RGD lasted a month, starting early May 2006. During this period I had the opportunity to work on three live projects. I also researched and studied the origin and development of the lotus as an international icon. The Lotus—Of the many icons that represent Eastern civilisation, the lotus is probably amongst the most famous ones. This study traced the origin of the lotus as a symbol of divinity and spirituality all around the world. The information was gathered from books and other online resources, which was assimilated with illustrations drawn by me in a single book.
