In the Connections We Cannot Make
The basis of the design is to promote the idea that we, though messy chaotic humans, engage daily with each-other, with the other, with the Other; that we come from one source and are intimately and permanently woven together. Sometimes referred to as the 'flower of life' the formal geometric pattern on which this design is based is an ancient and universal sacred symbol of unity wholeness and infinity.
The colours used in this design are representative of truth, and purity, innocence and holiness. With a surface that is rich and varied, and circles that are unique, some incomplete, or with irregular and blotted edges the design acknowledges, accepts, the imperfections of human relationships and understanding.

The many colours used in this design are evocative of the diversity in humans and celebrates our vibrant communities furthermore they represent the rainbow, a symbol of God's faithfulness and of His pardon and reconciliation to the faithful.
