| Description |
Stars, triangles, hexagons and hearts
flow in and out and
around each other on this intriguing
mosaic. The mass of
swirling shapes has as a focal point a
single small black
dot directly in the center, surrounded
by a circle to which
is attached four 'hearts'. Variation to
the symmetrical
pattern is found in the two middle
squares on the sides,
using solid black triangles and thick
short bars to give an
added textural impression. By arranging
the various
shapes in a near mirror image, many
other patterns are
thus created, which challenge the eye
with their multiple
changing images.
