Diamond Spiral


When I drew this picture, I was inspired by the following quote:
"A spiral can increase energy in a circular format or add movement to a rectangular composition." (Launching the Imagination, p.78)

To achieve this, I drew a rectangular frame with four diamond frames within it. Inside each diamond frame is a spiral.

My goal was to have symmetry, energy, confusion, and stability all at once. Since the spiral creates energy and movement, I drew horizontal stripes in the background (to reintroduce stability).
