The Asymmetrical Motif




My motif is based on a concave mirror.




Since I am dealing with themes of Identity through the body, the mirror is the best symbol for this. A concave mirror distorts whatever image it reflects, and thus distorts the body and face when one looks in it.


My color group uses analogous colors, ranging from blue to red. I chose these colors in accordance to the idea of mind/body/spirit and its relations to the Asian belief of chakras. Red is used to symbolize the root chakra, which is the chakra associated with bodily needs and the physical plane. Blue/Indigo is used to symbolize the third eye chakra, which relates to our subconscious mind. Purple is used to symbolize the crown chakra, which is the chakra associated with spirit.
