A Visual Exploration of the Circle
This is a final year project about the explorations and experimentations with the circle’s core symbolism and their meanings. The study into the world of circles will experiment with the universal symbol’s geometric and symmetric forms, engaging the readers to re-interpret the circle in a contemporary approach. Often then not, the circle is depicted using long wordy descriptions. Ancient visuals sometimes accompany them but not always. Throughout the first book, the vector forms are rendered and executed according to the author’s interpretation of what the meanings visually translates to. In the second book, the process on a series of rendered experimentations generated during the study is showcased. Each symbol can be broken down into smaller elements, thus resulting in other forms of patterns. 88 and 116 pages respectively. Poster and selected pages shown from the books.
