A Harmony of Eight…



*

The point sits at the centre of the square,

where its two diagonals intersect.

*

*

From the same intersection, another square

can be drawn at right angles to the first.

Like this, we create eight equidistant points.

*

 

*

By taking the original squares and extending all

eight sides, a new set of intersections is generated.

*

*

The new Octagon, bigger than the first,

 is perfectly derived from its archetype.

*

Extending the sides of the Octagon generates another pair of larger squares.

The pattern is infinitely extendable around the point of origin with

perfect symmetry in every direction…

*

A point indicates a location in space which is present but has no dimension…
