The Point.
A point is a basic mark, such as a dot, pixel, or a brush stroke. When we add a point to a blank sheet of paper, we create a dialog between this basic visual element and the surrounding space. If there is two points the eye will automatically see a line, if there is three points the eye will see a triangle. This natural reaction of the brain is described as Gestalt.
Gestalt theory, originated in Germany is a term used to describe the way the eyes or mind automatically start to create an image whenever points are grouped.
This project consists on 20 pictures of things related to the point, that are at the end grouped together in 20 squares of the same size. I decided to gather pictures of flowers as a representation of the point. The reason I chose this is because I am a nature lover and I think humans don't appreciate what nature has offered. My choice of flowers is a representation of the beauty of nature and my purpose is to remind people the importance of nature and the importance of taking care of it because we depend on it.
Below is the original project in color, then in sepia, and finally in black and white.
The following video showing the power of the point and how it is used to create objects and even masterpieces.
