Art, no matter how twisted it may be performed, should still always be recognizable as art, may it be a fool's art. So the least I'd expect for Jhin's abilities would be to initiate a change onto their visuals besides lowering their HP. For example seems predestined to color the enemy (hinting at a debuff). on the other hand seems to be made to resemble a photograph, freezing the object in time (if it can be called art that is, aka has been changed recently by Jhin or an ally). portrays death being not the end, but being a new beginning (transforming a champion into a Lotus).

And finally Jhins Lotus embodies deadly beauty. Or maybe that picking a flower means killing it.
