Micro vs macro

The natural forms and patterns we see in a single flower can be remarkably similar (from the structural point of view) to those we perceive when viewing the universe as a whole. If one views such disparate elements from the standpoint of spacial relationships, geometric forms, and repetitive patterns, the micro becomes the macro and vice versa.

Think of the sequence of editing steps (in Adobe Photoshop) in terms of jazz improvisation. Each step along the way informs the next step.
