Description

This composition utilizes continuation, or the movement of the composition. The foreground has triangles in varying sizes and shapes, moving in a spiraling direction. Through the use of size, the composition feels as if parts are receding in space while others are coming forward. The unity of the piece allows the brain to make a connection through the shapes, so the viewer's eyes are carried through the composition. the movement and rhythm makes the composition interesting, as well as the variety.
