Description: Intertwined reflections that a person should live lives of love and compassion. Take a pause and enjoy the present and the people around you. Live intentionally. Shed the stress, fear, and negative routines. Remember to live, remember to love, and remember that you must die. Memento vivere, memento amare, memento mori.

Reminding us that, despite our differences, we are bound by the same principles and rights that define the nation's democratic foundation.
Description: According to O’odham oral history, the labyrinth design depicts experiences and choices individuals make in the journey through life. In the middle of the “maze” a person finds their dreams and goals. An individual has a final opportunity when they reach the center, a last turn in the grand design, to look back upon their choices made and paths taken. Hopefully they have lived in harmony with nature and their fellow people. Finding balance, wisdom, and home along their journey of life with its twists and turns, joys and sorrows, choices and consequences. After this reflection the Sun God greets us, blesses us and passes us into the next world.

Description: The SATOR square, sometimes called the Templar Magic Square, contains an acrostic five-word Latin palindrome. It is thought to be a word puzzle of Roman origin (in ROTAS form) adopted by the early Christians, though some believe it has Jewish origins. Believed by some to hold mystical powers, it remains one of the worlds oldest unsolved puzzles, as scholars are yet to form a consensus on its true meaning.

Description: America is a land of many immigrants. Each story is compelling. It is very personal, and some have to dig deeper into history than others. It's a story that flows through family and relations, growing as intergenerational lives weave together. Diversity makes America what it is today - a "melting pot" that is also expressed in the Latin "e pluribus unum", meaning "out of many, one." And it is this rich experience that inspires creativity and fuels innovation. This land is your land, This land is my land.
Description: In the hum of our shared streets, diversity is our strength. Many languages weave into one song. Together we face the dark shadow of cruelty. We break down walls, but build a stronghold for our community. Our unity strikes fear in the oppressor. Our rebellion is love, the conqueror of hate.
Description: The Tagalog word “kapwa” translates to “Fellow Being,” the idea of “kindred" or “shared identity.” An embodiment of interconnectedness with emphasis that one’s own identity is tied to others through a sense of community and togetherness. For Filipino culture, living in the spirit of kapwa means caring for and embracing our shared humanity. The design is written in Baybayin, a traditional Filipino script.
Description: The Philippines has had a love affair with basketball since its introduction in the early 1900s. In 1936 they recorded a 5th Place finish in their debut Olympic Games. They earned a Bronze Medal in the 1954 International Cup, the best finish by any team outside the Americas and Europe. They have remained competitive in numerous Asian leagues, and are represented in other National leagues around the world.
Description: Puerto Rican (Boricua) anti-fascist activism has historically been intertwined with resistance to colonial rule, authoritarianism, and imperialism. They have survived severe economic hardship and recurring natural disasters, often exacerbated by colonial governance. A strong sense of community thrives on the Island, and throughout all of the United States. Sadly, nearly half of the U.S. population doesn’t even know Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, meaning that despite their constitutionally given legal rights as citizens, they have to fight harder for their “American Dream.”
Description: Tactical Frivolity is one of the world’s oldest types of resistance. From jesters needling medieval kings to people dressed in inflatable costumes, people have long realized that humor disarms while anger escalates. Employing satire and laughter in protests exposes authority’s fragility, and transforms dissent into participatory theater. The clown horn is mightier than the sword!

So dust off your shrimp boots and do a Cajun two-step. KEEP CALM and LAISSEZ LES BONS TEMPS ROULER!

Description: Gothic inspired Claddagh. The Claddagh is a traditional European Ring with a symbolic design which represents Love (Heart), Loyalty (Crown), and Friendship (Hands). The skeletal hands lend a non-traditional twist and I’d like to think represent “Friendship for Eternity.” The Claddagh has become an iconic symbol of Irish identity. With a Horror twist.
Description: Éirinn go Brách translates to "Ireland to the End of Time" or "Ireland Forever." The term has been endeared by Irish Volunteers in military service and to show pride in Irish heritage by Irish and their immigrants abroad. The Celtic Harp requires great skill and long hours of practice to play, which afforded it the association with the Gaelic ruling class. The Celtic hound motif is believed to signify loyalty, love, health and good luck.

Description: This ancient symbolic representation of Three Hares possibly came from East Asia via the Silk Road, and has been adopted by many cultures. It's an auspicious symbol, often thought to represent peace and tranquility. Another theory is it represents the process of continuously moving forward to reach a state of enlightenment. Like the Triskelion and Triquetra it is associated with the Trinity when adopted in Christian use.
Description: The Medicine Wheel, also known as a Sacred Hoop, has been used by generations of Native American tribes to symbolize dimensions of health and the cycles of life. Different tribes interpret the Medicine Wheel in their own ways. Each of the Four Directions (East, South, West, and North) are typically represented by distinctive colors (such as black, red, yellow, and white). The colors have many meanings, some believe it stands for the skin tones of the different human races. The circular shape can represent the continuous pattern of life and death, or the path of the sun and moon. The segments can represent the stages of life (birth, youth, adult & elder, death), or the Seasons of the year (spring, summer, winter, fall).
Description: Summer weather inspires people to get out and enjoy parks, and recreation, outdoors. The American Bison (aka American Buffalo) is North America’s largest land mammal, with strength to match its size. Every year tourist disrespect this majestic animal’s personal space, and suffer the consequences. Respect nature, stay safe!
Description: Symbology has always been a fascination of mankind. Sacred Geometry is woven into alchemy, the emblems of countries, corporate logos, mystical talismans, and even nature itself. The shapes and colors even guide us on our daily commutes. This design uses base colors and weaves the Circle, Star, Triangle, Square, and Pentagon into an interlocking unified sigil.
Description: From the neon backstreet bodegas of NYC’s little Tokyo underworld, Metal Maneki roared into life (or maybe it was a gravelly meow). Struck by the mystic rumble of metal, these once mere good luck charms now rock the heavens above. Forging decibels righteous enough to make the scariest Kaiju afraid.
