"The Bridge Between Squares and Hexagons"
by Aurora
This painting is a tessellation, where the pattern is the solution to a visual puzzle: how to integrate squares and hexagons. This question is significant when it is understood that to me, square grids describe the "heavenly realm" or the non-physical dimensions, and hexagons represent the material world (where many natural forms like water crystals are hexagonal.) The hexagons around the border seem to "pop" into cubes because the viewer's interpretation adds another dimension. Perception of higher dimensions bridges the two forms.
