Totality Within Dynamic Patterns
The dynamic manifestation of physical phenomena in nature has an immediate and profound effect on human experience. The ever changing disposition of surface qualities on all organic forms, living and non-living, is a visual indicator of impermanent nature of life and of interdependent relationship between all phenomena. It is this very dynamic which contributes to the excitement, spontaneity and sophistication of nature’s grand design. Totality Within Dynamic Patterns presents an exploration into the energetic character of changing patterns while integrating human participation as means to initiate a holistic interplay of the two.
