Fernand Léger

The House in the trees, La Maison dans les arbres, 1913

Your house (the orange colored structures on  the left) should be in harmony with nature (the green spheres from the lower left to the upper middle). When it does (the green stripes between the house and the trees, and the light green small trees on the left), the nature will envelope you and protect you from outside forces.

Different threads are weaved together to create a fabric. Different story lines are used to create the plot. We use the clothes to protect us from the environment and to hide our physical defects. We use entertainment to hide us from the environment and to protect from our psyche's defects.

Cliff House, 2007

This is an old house on the cliff overlooking small sea inlet.The house is so old, it seems like a part of landscape. It immerses into the environment. The house is full of see. You can see the water almost from any point inside the house. Even the theme of the interior decor is maritime. Despite that the structure is almost dissolved, it protects you and what you call home - the house, the cliff and the lagoon (the doubled lines running along the top and the right edges).
