oooo... I love "Squared". The ideas of interdependence and emptiness together is kind of a Zen koan!
i find these quiet but bold, contemplative.
i think this kind of emptiness is fullness --expansive beyond all awareness of any otherness....
(says the woman who just ate a delicious lunch and is full) :)
love the word interdependence too
I agree that these spare pieces reflect those concepts, 'interdependence and emptiness'.
Interesting how, for JC, it was/is 'interdependence and fullness'....
Yes! Wow.
