In my version of the Valdes pattern I was inspired by the meaning of the pattern. It har 2 J shaped forms that is turned upside down and the end of the J meets up to shape a heart. The J is here the symbol of Yggdrasil in Norse mythology, which is the Tree of Life. As a symbol, Yggdrasil represents the cosmos, the relationship between time and destiny, harmony, the cycles of creation, and the essence of nature.
