These plates were created after The 72 FACETS (IN 144) in 2021 and were inspired by that design by using a diamond grid similar to it, and the same gold texture and border / title and numbering arrangement. The diamond shaping specifically of both The 72 FACETS (IN 144) and The 16 KEYS was deeply inspired by The #diamonds2unitylife 'Media Literacy' Pattern Language Study which involved much contemplation on the connection between The 64 CARDS ◊ Ecological Strategies For All Ages & Abilities and what I call "The UNITY LIFE Branch". The branch is, in short, a certain network of mainstream media artists strongly featured on this website. That process of making connections led me to feel that changing The 16 KEYS to a diamond shape would please some of my favourite artists, if they were to see it. I also felt that, weather they saw this or not, it was my expression of gratitude to them for what I had found through #diamonds2unitylife about their art. What you see here is the slightly modified shaping which was created in 2024.
The entire set was redone from scratch that year to ensure that the shapes conform more precisely to the fibonacci golden ratio mathematical proportions. Previously, the diamonds were a little bit less wide.
