Dara

“Dara Celtic Knot - The meaning of the word, 'Dara' can be traced to an Irish word, doire which means 'oak tree'. The Dara Celtic knot is associated with the root system of oak trees. The Celtics and especially, Druids considered the oak tree as sacred. They used to derive meaningful messages applicable in day-to-day life through the language of trees. Oak tree is the symbol of destiny, power, strength, wisdom, leadership and endurance. All these attributes therefore, got associated with the Dara Celtic knot. Roots of the oak tree represented in the form of Dara Celtic knot are symbolic of the great source of inner strength or divine resources we possess”

The USB device has become a similar source of knowledge and information storage, transportation, and communication. Because of the correlation of themes, I chose to base my USB off the imagery of Celtic knots and oak leaves.

The imagery is also reminiscent of civil engineering of highway roads.
