How About My Work

 

You see under the text just the 4 rules of whole Gestalt Principles in the first collage. These are similiarity, proximity, closure and continuity. The red cornered triangle itself represents closure effect and at the same time it has similarity with the the other triangles. Also when these triangles are looked as a group they represent proximity. The lines show similarity in terms of both lenght, size and color. There are also creating overlapping and intersection between them.

 

As you see my work resembles Mondrian design in the 3rd image. It arises due to filling the squares the lines create. I chose purple in terms of harmony effect of color.
