The Meaning Behind The Designs —

“Above a tender fern, a mighty shield stands, protecting it even in its seeming insignificance. This design is here to honor those who remember this truth - that while each part of nature may appear to be separate, unimportant, or disposable, every species and being plays a crucial role in the ecosystem, that, we too, are a part. Earth is our home, and it’s up to those of us who remember this to protect it from those who don’t.”

“Flying above the brambles below, the triumphant butterfly emerges from its cocoon. But even as a caterpillar, bound to the ground, it so yearned for flight. That’s precisely when it found itself wrapping its own tomb, soon after to dissolve in darkness. ‘Why am I cursedto this end?’ If only it knew, this was just the beginning. This design is for all of us, who thought we were dying, when in fact, we were being reborn.”

“Above, giant mushrooms bloom from the ground. Below, its mycelial roots connect countless species of the forest. This design, paying homage to our fungal counterparts, is here to remind us that while each of our individual lives may seem separate, under the surface of appearances, vast networks of empathic nerve-endings bond us to souls hundreds of miles away. Through this web of life, none of us are alone.”
