The painting's shape is also apparent, and the
colors in the artwork have their individual
interpretations, such as the surrounding
environment. The movement of the painting
was inspired with its shape and it emphasizes
the message that the artist wishes to rely on
the viewer by using these elements.

Artists keep, make, and transform meaning.
It is what they do. Their relationship to place,
in addition to inhabiting it, is to see it and
listen to it. Whether intentionally or not,
every creative act, every moment of
imagination and expression in a place,

contributes to that place's shape.
