Background
A densely painted, impressionistic forest or garden scene with overlapping blades of grass and leafy foliage rendered in deep blues and greens.

central symbol, representing infinity, continuity, or transcendence
A luminous, painterly Möbius strip or infinity symbol, composed of swirling, multicolored threads or energy. The colors transition through a full spectrum, with a glowing, ethereal quality and subtle halos. The symbol appears to be physically connected to the bundle of threads held by the hand.
Diagonal Blue Streak
