Simplification Through Symbolism


We cannot see our reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see. -Taoist Poverb




Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. -Buddha



Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony." -Thomas Merton




For this project, we were asked to draw a symbol for each quote we picked.  Once I had chosen my quotes, I began to ponder on what they could symbolize. For ins-tense, the Taoist Proverb has always reminded my of a koi fish which is why I drew one. Then, I decided to draw animals in representation of the quotes to keep a consistency within the pictures.
