We briefed this as a classical Sohrai water blessing, the lotus pond that promises abundance. Radial-bloom symmetry is the natural fit: a pond seen from above becomes a single lotus opening in petal rings, with the fish and ducks circling it like the life of the water. We kept one large hematite lotus at the dead centre so it reads instantly, then ringed it with a calm round of fish and ducks on kaolin water-comb ripples rather than scattering them. Peacocks crown the corners, deer settle the base, and the terracotta ground keeps the whole pond grounded as harvest earth rather than literal blue water.
