A physical picture of a mental puzzle is created by the manner in which the forms relate to one another. The curved lines, sharp points, and abrupt changes in directions speak to the genuine humanistic experiences we all have while navigating our way through life. These abstract forms and their arrangements represent the tension between schemata and environment, process of assimilation, and the perpetual search for cognitive equilibrium. The expressive nature of these abstract forms/shapes have evolved into a personal visual language, that for me, captures the essence of emotions, thoughts, and feelings. Rearranging and changing, these signature forms have become the pieces of an ongoing puzzle symbolic of sustained assimilation.
