![The Black and the Green is black and green to symbolize the colors of the early computer
systems around when I was just starting out in life. Also, no national flags contain solely
the colors black and green, reflecting the truth in the statement, "no [person] is an island."
These colors were also prominent in the majority of early computer simulations, the most
prominent of which I remember being simulating space, one of my lifelong interests.
There are four human-like figures with five lines, one on each side of the flag,
representing the four members of my immediate family. This also harkens back to our
traditional dinner table arrangement, seen from a bird's-eye view. I was on the top longer
side of the table, Max was on the left side, dad was on the right side, and mom was sitting
right across from me. The four representations of human figures' legs also make up four
baseball diamonds, baseball being one of my dad's side of the family's keen interests.
They are fans of the St. Louis, Missouri baseball team the Cardinals, and the cardinal is
one of the physical signs we believe Max sends us to show us he's still here and watching
over us. Also contained in these four diamonds are the figures 8 and ∞ (infinity). The 8
represents my mom and her three siblings, plus my dad and his three siblings. The ∞
(infinity), of course, symbolizes eternity. The overall shape of the design lends itself to a
3D representation. This is on purpose. It is meant to show that more than two dimensions
can be represented on paper, more specifically, that there is more to any one thing than
the eye can see. Its proportions, 10:19, are that of the flag of the United States of
America, the country where I was born. Tying the flag together is the X, where all four
lines intersect, making a single point, symbolizing the everlasting unity everything
creates in our lives.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/1b259229-0383-4e46-a72f-b9b85eaa97c5-150923214808-lva1-app6891/85/Personal-flag-explanation-1-320.jpg)
