GROWTH IS CYCLICAL
The deer is seen as a powerful symbol of regeneration across cultures. As one of the more peaceful beings in nature, they hold their heads high. Bucks shed their velvet in a strikingly gory display each season, revealing a unique set of antlers. This annual cycle is a pure example of how when one opportunity is lost, it leaves space for another to fill the void left behind. As these cycles compound upon the next, they manifest as growth. Growth is cyclical.

GROWTH IS CONCURRENT
Life is everywhere and inlaid in everything, both as a scientific fact and an abstract idea. Microscopic colonies thrive within the corners of our environment, while we engage in the communities we cultivate. These interwoven existences devour the products of life, one organic and the other intangible. Would areas of your brain mold over, spores budding in between the folds, if left forgotten and unused like a basket of produce? Life, or more so growth, is produced from the divine machine of organisms inhabiting any given ecosystem. Growth is concurrent.
