This is "Blad met ruitenpatroon met bloemen" by Stampi Remondiniani PESP, a pattern of flowers arranged into diamonds. Look at the image and the infinite variations of the floral pattern. This arrangement takes me back to ancient motifs in classical art. The flower, universally a symbol of beauty and ephemerality, is repeated here, but it has evolved into an almost abstract element. This recalls patterns on textiles from antiquity that spread throughout the trade routes of the East, like the Silk Road. The simple, geometric diamond, an ancient symbol representing windows or the all-seeing eye, has been associated with knowledge and insight for centuries. The subconscious appeal of such patterns may stem from our innate desire for order. Perhaps we seek to impose structure on the chaos of existence, and to find the familiar in the unknown. It is a beautiful expression of an ancient visual language. These symbols remind us that everything returns, transformed but eternally present.
