In Tibetan culture, lakes are the symbol of women — still on the surface, unfathomably deep, life-giving, fierce when the storm comes. This collection honors the women of the plateau. The ones who faced deception and returned to the surface with clarity. The ones who freed strangers without hesitation. The ones whose names became the names of sacred waters, whose stories became the stories a culture tells its daughters. Shero — she who carries both the lake and the fire.
