Six directions to explore
- Personal symbols that hold a specific memory or value.
- Nature motifs such as a leaf, wave, or landscape detail.
- Animals chosen for their character or connection.
- Objects and hobbies that reflect everyday interests.
- Lettering with a word, date, or short phrase you can live with.
- Abstract geometry built from balance, repetition, or contrast.
