![]() Perfection is a subject which can have many opinions, stories and connotations -- some positive -- some negative. When I completed the 'Perfect Unification' design, still without a title in mind, I began to add color to what clearly would have "4-part" symmetry. Interestingly, I began to see what appeared to be a "wind tunnel" and/or something which looked like "ribbons" influence by the flow of wind much like those you could imagine attached to the front of an air conditioner. While pondering this structural similarity found in our physical world, I also was attempting to "integrate" some abstract ideas relating to 'perfection,' but not necessarily strictly in terms of the symmetric design itself. I could see there was a "flow" of some kind. This 'flow' appeared to originate at four unique centers. On further observation, I could not help but see the four "perfect" squares were themselves part of a greater whole. Whenever I see "a larger picture" constructed with unifying "parts," I also often see and think of common attributes found in our relationship within the "greater" Universe. We are incredibly small "atomically" in comparison to a vast and infinite arrangement of greater atomic structures. Physically we are all of and from the same material. But what is flow all about? Is there power in that wind? What more than visually unifies this painting's design with its wind? Is there some common analogy we can attribute to the "art" of the Univers's design? And, if it does in fact exist, what is it's True nature? I chose Perfect Unification as a title for this work because it seemed to address these greater questions. And, upon completion, I began to see the wind more in terms of its power, its balanced, radiating direction, and for its beauty, both artistically as well as Universally -- quite literally. -- Written November 23, 2025 |
