Featured Design of the Month: November 2022
Image Title: Nexus
I chose this image as the Featured Design for November 2022 because the Thanksgiving Holiday can represent the nexus for family and friends gathering together to celebrate that with which we are thankful for.
This design is titled "Nexus" because the center sphere is the physical nexus in which all other objects are connected. The orb in the center is a sphere of water in which all other objects are reflected, representing a spiritual connection.
According to the online Merriam-Webster Dictionary, "Nexus is all about connections. The word comes from nectere, a Latin verb meaning "to bind." A number of other English words are related to nectere. The most obvious is connect, but annex (meaning "to attach as an addition," or more specifically "to incorporate into a political domain") is related as well. When nexus came into English in the 17th century, it meant "connection." Eventually, it took on the additional meaning "connected series" (as in "a nexus of relationships"). In the past few decades it has taken a third meaning: "center" (as in "the trade nexus of the region"), perhaps from the notion that a point in the center of an arrangement serves to join together the objects that surround it."
