In this drawing, Lotus lies in the tall grass of Sydney Harbour, framed by the ancient cliffs of Gore Cove. Her relaxed pose gently echoes the melting, grounded figure in Salvador Dalí’s ‘The Persistence of Memory’, creating a quiet connection between the body and the land. The breeze and filtered light rest softly on her skin as she idly plucks at the grass, drifting into a peaceful, dreamlike state between wakefulness and sleep. Edward uses this in‑between moment to show how the human form can reflect the landscape itself, suggesting that our memories and identities are shaped by the places we inhabit. The result feels both rooted in Sydney’s sandstone and lifted by a calm, universal stillness.
