Passion

The organic lines flow around like two people in a passionate dance.

Agitation

The sharp angles, the thick and thin lines and how they create boxes that seems to imprisons you.

Agressive

The power of you anger. The build up and the relief you feel when you hit something.   (violence Read more →

This is the start of my final lines!
