The title ‘yami kara’ is japanese for ‘from the darkness’, a zen Buddhism concept. While it references the fact the lotus flower roots itself in the mud but flowers on the waters surface, for me it conceptually refers to the attempt to make something beautiful in the face of the horrors across the world, particularly in Gaza right now.
