The Vitruvian Man: Created by Leonardo,it is his diagram for the ideal male figure.It was made with grids and circles and squares.Its very much my own life.Its like one big geometric puzzle.I have come to notice that most things,even the simplest in my everyday life,go back to plain old geometry.I will be looking at the tiles in a bathroom wall or floor and in my mind I will put together images or connect the edges in my mind to spell things out.?Its kind of odd but so true.I feel like I have done this same diagram but with different objects millions of times in my life.So surreal to look at this and see the thought that went on with it being created.

Donatello's statue of Mary Magdalen I think a lot of people can relate too one way or another.The statue,made of polychromy and gold on wood,shows the saint,which was known for her beauty,as an old emaciated scary thing.To me this statue explains people in todays world.How people who are so beautiful on the outside,actually look ugly or mean on the inside.Or it can be the opposite of that,with a not so pretty person is really beautiful on the inside,so you have to look past the exterior.
