New Earth Drawing on Sustainability:
New drawing alert! But it has a generic working title at the moment. Will you help me name it, please?
“Untitled (Environmental Protection Symbol)” is a creative visualization on environmental sustainability. The structure is an ancient protection symbol called a triquetra. Air, sea, and land are represented as well as patterns from Asia, Africa, and Europe.
I’m currently looking for suggestions for a proper name for this Earth drawing. If you’d like to submit a name, please leave a comment below and let me know.
I’ve been asking around and have gotten some great suggestions so far! I aim to choose a proper name within the next few days and will keep you posted.
More on the triquetra symbol
Ancient-symbols.com writes:
“An ancient Celtic symbol, the triquetra is considered one of the oldest; dating back to as early as 500 BC when it was used to symbolize the triple goddess (maiden-mother-crone). Over the centuries it has become the symbol for the Holy Trinity among Christians in Ireland. The symbol is often used to represent the 3 fundamental elements – air, water, and earth or the infinite cycle of life. It is also known as a rune of protection.
In modern times, the triquetra symbol has become a favorite design element in knot-work, jewelry, emblems, logos etc. as a symbol of anything three-fold e.g. the cycle of life (life-death-rebirth), the promise of a husband to his wife (love-honor-protect), the family (father-mother-child), the passage of time (past-present-future) and many more. The circle that is often interlaced with the triquetra represents the bond between the three elements.”
If you’d like to always stay on top of new work in progress or even make requests in real-time, why not follow me on Instagram? You might even catch me doing a little “dance” like the one in the video below. Not likely though!
I do have a special love of Punjabi music (my music choice for this video) and all things Indian.
For about five seconds anyway!
