Emotion vs Intellect

Emotion(organic lines) and intellect(straight lines) are two sides of the coin.They always work in tandem. Sometimes the intellect analyses the emotions and bends them to a more logical solution. Sometimes the emotion takes over the intellect and creates a new point of view. You have to nurture both of them and to keep both of them in balance. One of them gets out of hands and your inner self get handicapped.

She seems to be trying to find the right words, 2011

Women are very detail-oriented. They notice things that men don't realize exist. Women are emotional. When you combine the huge number of details and feelings and moods that come with every detail, you can get distracted very easily. It is like you caught up in the bushes. Even they are not thick and each branch can't distract you from the path,  but the sheer number of them makes you wonder what you wanted to say. The the right words are starting to come up(the black branches).

Freedom evolves

Freedom is the right to choose. You are choosing the directions. You are the director of the play, called "Your Life". When you have freedom, you have to work hard, because you are the director, the script writer and the backstage worker. And you have to defend your freedom from the outside attacks that want to slash it to pieces (white diagonal lines) and from the inside inertia (the black bush in the center). The freedom is like muscles, the more you exercise it the more you can do.

Untitled (#166)

This is a woman. She is very aware of her surroundings. She has an external image to maintain (light gray figure in the background around the main construction in the middle). At first glance beyond the visible representation, you can see a simple sphere and a cone. But if you dig deeper, you will see delicate mechanics with lots of gears, moving parts and springs. The springs (the two spirals in the center) sometimes are working in opposing directions. Thus they produce a line in the external image that changes directions rapidly, a conflicting and doubting behavior( middle right). Our woman has high standards that she use to measure herself(a yellow line in the top center). The line is near her lily head. The latter is heavily influenced by a yellowish spot that grows from the yellow sphere from down below.
