Shapes of circles and boxes, organic symbols

The interpretation of these symbols and images that come from altering photographs and balancing/mirroring the patterns result in very interesting similarities to old Sumerian stories and mythos of later cultures. (Often, cycled on and on through different characters or subtext to meet the current belief structures of the current culture.)
Creating an image in which you can  to look at and study within an uninterrupted moment  is a timeless way to depict story creations and viewpoints of 'good' or 'evil' depending on the interaction of the viewer and his/her personal reflections. Though even further than that often indoctrinated distinction from 'good' and 'evil' are the inner workings of sacred image that are found ever present in an organic approach.

What really interests me is how the current state of media equipment, such as being able to take a photograph comprised of natural surroundings and then digitally mirroring itself, can continue this tradition of symbolic gesture. It is as if old ways of generating or birthing these stories and organic symbols will always be available even by means of a digital interaction.The ability to access these trains of thoughts want to spill and grow on through like through those cracks of concrete wild life and growth still come forth not as a re-action but as an unstoppable approach to always return to the beginning. This would be my only time to apply the saying 'the circle takes the square' to a new meaning, whereas the curve overflows the fragment.

I found that the geometry of city structures do not apply as well to this ushering of imaginative shape. The fragments and rigid sharpness of a city structure does not give as much to reflect upon when multiplied or mirrored, which in a sense shows the results of the stagnation and repressed feeling seemingly overflowing in places surrounded in urban symbol structures. Walls.

Currently I see it this way: The fragmented placement of what we now refer to as urban or city environments does not seem to follow the tradition of shape that the more natural and abundance-oriented civilizations were comprised of. 

Boxes upon boxes upon boxes are formed, aside from the matriarchal buildings which house the hierarchy rather than the common public, where the games of participation take place or even the logo/s which enact older forms of symbol but only to pursue the act of expanding and building more walls than encouraging creative and natural interpretation.
The expressions which offer a higher encounter of creativity and outspoken widespread individualistically such as street art, which can when correctly done (being free expression and character, not just tits and dicks!) serve as a revival of wall art or serve similar to hieroglyphics and communication through and on the grey areas. Though these acts are seen as rebellious and are shunned as they challenge the boxes and fragmented thoughts, their shapes are often flowing and defiant of the square and flat composure. Much of what seems and comes along as natural and archaic being categorized as defiant is a discussion in itself. The boxes are the symbolic form held overshadowed by tall, grey, lifeless and flat structures.

Chess became sterilized into a game of checkers when an intimate approach of understanding needed to be quickened as abundance was stripped away. The same statement can be applied to tools of intuition and divinity replacing a more soulful desire into objectives of money management and playing cards.

The reflection of these symbols are more than interesting in the ways they can approach the human mind and how we respond to such things. Through dream, shamanic visions, pure f'in' accident, ancient ways, alchemy or even through the technologies we have available today, the mythos and symbols very similar to some of the first stories of known human experience still seem to continue regenerating to those who have the time or an abundance of it to notice and reflect.
The ability to interpret and garner stories and ideas from the shapes offered by natural environment seems much more effective just as the sounds and other senses offer a more abundant mindset.
Think of the cycle and smoothness of sound in a natural area in comparison to the jagged and int-eruptive sounds of an industrial environment. 
Though to some they may just as well be squiggles and lines, in these kinds of images.. It is all about how you wish to perceive it just as with anything else but I thought I would exercise some insights to go along with these and possibly enact other to find stories and insights into shape, which is to delve inside of your own belief structures and see them as more than walls.
