Statement

In my most recent work, I study the connection between art and mathematics. I am fascinated with abstraction made up of lines, shapes, textures, and colors. The focus of my exploration is to juxtaposition geometric (regular) and organic (irregular) shapes and experiment with the patterns created by their repetition. I am captivated by the endless possibilities and the exquisite perfection of the completed designs.

This design was generated in a computer graphics program. With the repetition and rotation of the metal construction and geometric shapes, I formed a sense of harmonious proportion and a structured environment. Then, I applied radial symmetry to rotate the identical, partially overlapping organic tree image 14 times.
