The scrolling vine pattern here, a bit like traditional karakusa arabesques, made me think of the regenerative power of weeds that grow back even after they're cut, and the life force of ivy that clings on and won't let go. As someone who gets bored easily, I don't have that in me, and I feel both admiration and respect for it.
It's not just plants, either — some animals and cells have the same ability to regenerate, and every time I'm reminded of that, I think what an amazing world this is.
