The seed, this tiny complex shape, holds the mystery of the journey of life; it contains both the beginning and the end. In its tiny size it hides the potential of growth and reproduction and symbolises the experience of living the transformation into something else and the continuity through the passage of life.
In her latest experiment with the seed motif, in the series of works titled In Balance, Lemos uses it to express the effort of each individual to attain an inner balance.
All seeds have a different shape and colour, thus becoming a metaphor of the individuality of each person. In its totality every work represents the dream and effort of all people to put things into perspective and find an internal balance that will lead to a conscious life.
