The piece of artwork I have painted illustrates lotus flowers protecting a colorful, modern looking, kindertransport bus from the glass falling from the sky. The lotus flower symbolizes compassion due to its pink and red color, they surround the vehicle not allowing the darkness to reach it, as the bus symbolized innocent children. The bus contains all the colors of the rainbow, representing the innocence and love the youth still contain, therefore the flowers are preserving the youthfulness of the young Jews. The dark clouds and sky demonstrate the darkness and destruction of the Nazis regime. Additionally, sharp pieces of glass fall from the sky as the flowers hug the children shielding them from the danger, saving the vehicle from harm.
