When I was drawing this knot I was not thinking of nor intending crows or elephants yet they appeared in the empty spaces. (The two elephants are highly symbolic and inside the knotwork at the bottom, one awake, one dreaming).

Ganesha is an elephant Hindu God known for removing obstacles.

Crows are highly intelligent birds whose 'mystical' significance has to do with being able to move between the worlds and is known as a messenger as well.

The thick blue knot is one continuous strand that takes the form of an Oroborus: a snake biting it's tail. The alchemical meaning of this ancient symbol varies, but has to do with infinity and wholeness, of integrating and assimilating opposites, of renewal and giving birth to the self.

The broken hearts are obvious. Or maybe not. It appears that the crows are creating a tear in the hearts. Yet a lucky four leaf clover lies at the center of the knot and inside of this is the sun.

A second strand takes the form of a vine with a flower on one end and the head of a happy dragon that breaths or exhales love on the other.

I didn't expect the background to be a dark night sky yet somehow it seems right. I carefully planned the main knot without knowing what I would put behind it.

An interesting combination of symbols and I don't know exactly what it all means. I enjoyed creating it.

Anyone have any intuitive thoughts on this?
