The Knot for MOSAIC Strict was inspired by my friend Sandra's heart/knot art for Inktober yesterday, by feeling connected in my life to what I felt her expressing with it. It is my 10th subsystem for MOSAIC Strict. It's about the knot the Eros Pothos afflicted us with, which makes us yearn for each other, and weak if others know we're afflicted.
