In her 2005 show, Emergence, Trosino described her creative and personal development of the past decade:

"...I began not not knowing anything, and ten years later my only certainty is that all is transformation, an undecipherable code, a grand mystery. I am only a small part of the design and value my place in it. It is a privilege to be here, and I accept the terms wholeheartedly without fully understanding why. To go through this life honestly, at a pace meant for each of us, is our common bond. Through my work I wish to bring to the surface a seemingly hidden part of the great design. It is not meant to be a mystery but a reality for us all."

Child in the Lotus illustrates this statement as the central figure emerges from a mysterious place that has been brought forth for the viewer to contemplate and understand.
