In sacred geometry a hexagon represents the potential for life and is seen in the building blocks of life, atoms, as well as DNA structures. It is what forms the chains that produce the double-helix macromolecule. So, the hexagon is what literally holds us all together! In the context of Ailment, the hexagon reflects the complexities of illness, its effect on contributors and how these impact our human connection. As with atoms, stories are sustaining structures. In the telling and listening of these structures, true ties can be weaved.
