Thanks @kat.cadena for answering my questions: “Everything looks perfect. I used acrylic paint called Nova Color. It’s from a shop in California. And thank you!!”

"Two women, one indigenous, one black, touch hands in the water and lock eyes in a gaze of support, trust and solidarity. All around them, lotus flowers bloom. Lotus flowers are revered worldwide for blooming immaculately each morning out of the murkiest, muddiest waters. Their seeds can withstand thousands of years without water and still produce a flower centuries later." @kat.cadena
