Notice which shapes are familiar and which are unfamiliar. On which parts do you focus to find your way in this picture? This image seems to offer signs and symbols that have significance, some Greek and Arabic words that are slightly obscured. They hint that discovery is always aided as well as hindered by what we know and expect from our own cultural backgrounds.
