Meaning of Knot

Flores:

The movement and circling of vines and flowers inspired this ancient motif. We called it, “Flores,” which is Spanish, for flower. To us, it symbolizes the verdant fertility of the plant world, the green thrust of life. The design itself was carved in rock and is an expression of Khmer culture from Angkor Watt, in Cambodia, which Helen visited in 2006.
