Using my new set of symbols, I began sketching scenes of restraint and release. The perceived constriction of home, work, community, etc. are often the catalysts of travel. Without the contrast of home freedom doesn't taste as sweet. And the transformation is less profound.
I also began to study the shift of perception that occurs in daily and vacation life. Depending on how you look at things, you might be covered in flowers or buried in thorns.
If pattern represents a culture as a whole, is there a way to show the individual within?
At times, I had to stop thinking and just mash symbols together. Here, phenomenology might determine the image's meaning rather than tradition.
