On Balance and Symmetry

Symmetry is a characteristic of artistic works where a "mirror image" is used, such that an image on one side of an imaginary line, an "axis of symmetry" is the same as the image on the other side of said line. This characteristic was used in my kaleidoscope by duplicating the left side of the image, and vertically reflecting it to the right side. Balance was also created between the center area of the image and the corners/ area around the center. This created a sense that the entangled knots were radiating from the center. A balance of color was also used in the roughly equal use of both white and black.
