    That's what art's about, isn't it -- at some point it's about the relationship between the art and the viewer, sort of like speed dating. (D Akey)

    What a gorgeous piece. Really great division of design elements and textures. Very considered. I particularly like the overall impact, but the secondary read of the squiggly string coil bits as a complementary motif against the strong geometry of the architecture. It's a very nice contrast and a pleasing element. Love the juxtaposition of the free natural side moving in on the hard structure. Works really well. A lot to appreciate in this one. Colors are unexpected as they feel more desert like as opposed to jungle. There's no problem in that. Like I say, it's unpredictability leads the mind to seek out the mystery, how they fit as it were. What you saw. What is your point? So to speak. And those are rhetorical questions that may bear equally unexpected answers that change over time.

    Well done.

    Wonderful textures!

    Really captures the feel of the fibers and colors of the eastern kind of world.

    Well done.

    yes these colors are more desert and middle eastern than Cambodian with its lush green jungle ... I just kept the intricate and delicate tower like structures in my head at the time the rest is as you say a bit of a mystery...
