Lemniscate
Lemniscate was created from leaves on the forest floor during a land art hike on the Garden Route of the southern Cape, South Africa in August 2013. This is one of my favourite symbols of life’s ongoing, regenerative cycles of change.

So simple and yet so beautiful! I was wondering what does lemniscate mean?
Lemniscate is the name given to a curve shaped like an 8, or an infinity sign. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Lemniscate.html, notes that “Jakob Bernoulli published an article in Acta Eruditorum in 1694 in which he called this curve the lemniscus (Latin for ‘a pendant ribbon’).”
