The Gallery of Symmetry

“Beauty is rather a light that plays over the symmetry of things than the symmetry itself.” – Plotinus (Greek Platonist philosopher).

 

The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 28th of February is "symmetry". A few birthdays ago, a very dear friend of mine, who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I like interesting and delicate bits and pieces gave me some beautiful laser cut paper flowers and leaves as a gift. This Christmas just passed, the same friend gave me some embossed thick card frames as a gift. I have combined these two gifts together on a black background to create a gallery of symmetry. Although it looks simple, this flat lay took quite a lot of work to make it symmetrical. The delicate nature of the laser cut paper which reminds me of wycinanki (Polish paper cutting). I do hope that you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
