A Knotwork Orange
At the heart of the artwork is a triskelion—a triple spiral symbol. This is a prominent motif in Celtic art and spirituality. It often represents:
-
Motion and cycles (life, death, rebirth)
-
The three realms (land, sea, sky)
-
The triple goddess (maiden, mother, crone)
-
Unity of body, mind, and spirit
The triskelion here is enclosed in a circular border with a stylized serpent.
Surrounding the central motif are layers of:
-
Celtic knots and interlace patterns, which symbolize interconnectedness
-
Rectangular and square borders form a labyrinthine pattern
Celtic beasts and symbols for the seasons are present around the exterior.
It combines Celtic mysticism, astrological/alchemical symbolism, and mythological representation into a unified mandala-like composition. It's the kind of image meant for meditation, ritual, or storytelling.
