Flowers of Faith

FLOWERS OF FAITH

Flowers of Faith is a unique multifaith art exhibition that brings together the world’s major faith traditions in a powerful visual celebration of unity in diversity.

The exhibition consists of twelve artworks, representing Baha’i, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism.

Each artwork, created by  Reverend Bhakta Dasa, includes:

  • A flower with special meaning in that tradition’s sacred texts 
  • A well-known  symbol of the faith, like the cross in Christianity or the Om in Hinduism 
  • A prayer or mantra commonly associated with the tradition 

Through colourful imagery and meaningful symbolism, Flowers of Faith offers a space for:

  • Learning about different religious traditions and practices
  • Finding shared values across diverse faiths
  • Appreciating both the differences and common ground between them  

Whether you’re interested in art, curious about other belief systems, or just want a quiet moment of reflection, this exhibition invites everyone to take part.

A Note on Representation and Interpretation:

Every faith tradition has sacred texts and teachings in which flowers, symbols, prayers or mantras may hold spiritual significance.

For each artwork, the artist has selected a flower, prayer or mantra, and symbol to incorporate into the work.

These selections are not intended to represent an entire religion. Religious traditions are diverse, and interpretations of their teachings and symbols may vary between communities and individuals.

Through this approach, Flowers of Faith celebrates the distinctiveness and diversity of individual faith traditions, as well as the beauty they share.
