Date: 2006
• The dominate visuals that I point out from this very beautiful and colorful picture are:
1) Patterns of the petals of artificial flowers.
2) Perfect Symmetry of the artwork (Symmetrical Balance)
• Organizing principles of design:
1) Brightly colored fabric petals from artificial flowers that produce some sense of disorientation by the use of the mirror effects.
