'''Shield:''' <br>
The '''colour scheme of the arms''' is the one of [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wapen_van_Vlaanderen#Oud_wapen Flanders Ancien] and [https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/wiki/West-Vlaanderen West-Flanders]. This shows the attachment of the armiger to this region as well as his distant connection to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_VI,_Count_of_Flanders Baldwin VI],
The '''tincture of the field''' stands for the viola flower, the armiger's favourite flower and a symbol of remembrance and
religious knowledge. Also it alludes to the calm water on the shores of the North Sea and, to a lesser extent, the flax flower, the national flower of Flanders. Azure was also chosen in reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tekhelet Tekhelet], the holy colour from which the garments of the high priest and the tapestries in the Tabernacle are made.<br>
The '''horns''' are Canting for his name, Isaac, as well as his alias “Vlaanderram”, the Flemish ram. It also references the Binding of Isaac ''(Genesis 22:13)'' itself a symbol of both selfless sacrifice and religious zeal creating a paradox that appeals to the armiger. The horn is a ambiguous figure, to the armiger these are the horns of the ram Abraham sacrifices instead of his son, the arms medieval iconography attributed to Moses on mount Sinaï but hey are also the symbol of
The '''bend counter-compony''' stands for Samson’s riddle “Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet.” ''(Judges 14:14)''. The gules for the blood of the lion (which is also a symbol of Flanders) and the gold for the honey (the bees are a symbol of fellowship). The choice of counter-compony also alludes to the armiger's willingness to step out of social norms; indeed, stripes in the middle ages were the symbol of outcasts (prostitutes, butcher, religious minorities), the division of the compony therefore evokes a ripped piece of stripped fabric as a liberation from an oppressive social status. Said counter-compony is also a symbol of his passion for strategy games such as chess. <br>
'''Crest:''' <br>
The '''crest as a whole''' is a representation of the armigers love for History and Art as well as a metaphor for the history of the
Jewish people that were slaves in Egypt and will be glorious once the messiah' arrives. The use of a '''hat''' is an attempt from the armiger to make the arms appear more Germanic, this also directly references the arms used by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_the_Good Filips de Goede], the Duke of Burgundy as found in the [https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b55009806h/f306.item ''Armorial équestre de la Toison d'or'' f.149v], the dukedom of Burgundy being a transition between Germanic and French culture, deeply influenced by the lowlands just like the armiger.<br>

'''English:''' Upon a cross potent and a saltire potent all Or, An escutcheon Gules.
'''Symbolism:''' The '''overall badge''' aims to parody and ridicule the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_concentration_camp_badge#/media/File:Red_triangle_jew.svg badge imposed by Nationalist regime on Jewish Socialists] during the Second World War, as a statement of the armiger's action against fascism and antisemitism. The '''escutcheon Gules''' references the arms of [https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/wiki/Douai Douai (Nord,France)] from which the patrilineal line of the

'''Blazon:''' <br>
'''Nederlands:''' Een kokarde van groen en van zwart. <br>
'''English:''' A cocarde green and black.
'''Sybolism:''' '''Sable and Vert''' Are the lively colour of Flanders. The '''Cocarde''' is a traditional device to represent political allegiance that fits the theme of the armiger coat of arms that features a Phrygian cap. The '''green''' stands for the countryside as a symbol for the armiger's ideal of a decentralised government, it also alludes to the many canal that run across the Westhoek. The '''Black''' is a traditional mourning colour, it represents the lost territories of Flanders that are French and Dutch Flanders as well as well as the apparent failure of the political class, incapable of adressing modern issues in a satisfactory way. Black is also the symbol of activism, showing that the only way out is by the mean of the people.
