The first pic of the snowflake is exquisite.
One time when tripping on fungi listening to classical music I started to draw geometric shapes - mostly triangles which at the time seemed as though they were the basic building blocks of all existence; or at least the physical manifestations of reality. So one could start with simple geometric forms and build onto them to create higher forms and so on. A similar theme has somewhat permeated several mushy journey's for me. Geometry.
One notices picto-grams or mandala's or complex geometric designs in mosques for example - ussually they are built up from very simple shapes. Some of them may hold your gaze - have a person mesmerised as though to suggest something perhaps familiar is observed; beyond the vissual. Ancient reflections of timelessness? Or the heart of creation?
