Our Story

Our Beginning: Blue Lotus Candle Creations

Founded in 2015, Blue Lotus Candle Creations began as a small passion project — hand-poured soy candles crafted to bring light, calm, and balance into everyday life. Each scent was inspired by moments of healing and reflection, created during a time when I was learning how to care for myself emotionally and mentally.

The lotus flower, known for blooming through muddy waters, became a symbol of resilience — a reminder that beauty and strength can rise from difficult places.

A New Chapter: XPOSED Selfie Museum

In 2022, I made the bold decision to close the candle business and open the XPOSED Selfie Museum at Annapolis Town Center. What started as a creative photo space quickly became something more profound — a sanctuary for mental health awareness, confidence, and connection.

Through interactive art installations and uplifting environments, XPOSED encourages guests to embrace their truth, celebrate their individuality, and rediscover joy — one photo at a time.

The Merge: Where Light Meets Expression

Now, these two passions have become one — Blue Lotus Collection × XPOSED.

This merge represents more than a rebrand; it’s a reflection of my journey and my “why.” Every candle, every exhibit, every image is part of a larger mission: to spark healing through self-care and self-expression.

The Blue Lotus Collection brings the calm — soothing scents that restore balance.

XPOSED brings the freedom — a creative space to celebrate authenticity and joy.

Together, they remind us that light exists even in our darkest moments.

Our Mission: Art, Awareness, and Healing

At the heart of XPOSED × Blue Lotus Collection is a commitment to mental health awareness — especially within the Black and Brown community.

We believe that healing should be accessible, creative, and filled with compassion.

Our mission is simple:

  • To inspire people to express themselves without fear.
  • To encourage self-care and emotional wellness.
  • To honor every story — both the joyful and the healing ones

Because healing looks different for everyone.

For some, it’s a flame.

For others, it’s a photo.

For me — it’s XPOSED.
