The Story
The CONNECT Story
In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it. - Goethe
The Power of CONNECT
Before CONNECT was borne, I’d already been making jewelry. My "Silk Road Designs" are beaded journeys of materials that travel east and west and sometimes around the globe.
It was here that I discovered the power of symbols, see for yourself - www.heikegastmann.com
The CONNECT line of jewelry evolved out of the same philosophy, that as people we all share a deep human bond. Regardless of gender, social status, education or origin everywhere on the planet then and now we all need to be seen, heard, touched, appreciated and loved.
Fusing two seemingly contradictory shapes produced a timeless and elegant symbol, an amulet reminiscent of a mandala with the power to focus our attention on an all pervasive fundamental principle of life - connection.
Forged into CONNECT, the square inside the circle radiates diversity, inclusion, unity, equality and balance - all much needed values in our troubled times. The beauty of CONNECT lies in its iconic strength.
Few Things Are Stronger Than A Symbol
Both ancient universal shapes in their own right, the square and the circle are also mankind’s oldest symbols to express heaven and earth (circle), and our spiritual and material worlds (square).
Appearing contradictory on the surface, they compliment one another. While the circle represents our connection with each other, god, nature and the universe, the square signifies our search for order and orientation, meaning and purpose.
CONNECT illustrates that by including the “other”, "one" does not loose identity but gain strength. Where there's connection, there is flow, and where there is flow, there is health, wealth and peace. And just like neither the circle nor the square favor a side, so must we. Why? Because we’re all one. We’re better, stronger and happier together, when we share love, peace and balance with all.
Once we realize the myriad of ways in which we‘re connected to ourselves, one another, our environment and every living thing, we can remind the world of the importance of connection.
I hope you'll "show up" to help me build a wave. And to thank you for your contribution, I will donate at least 10% of the profit margin for every purchased item to an organization that supports this vision.
CONNECT.
