Two Rings
Two Rings represent two halves – and left and right – to the whole. Chirality or handedness is present in the organization and structure of all organic matter from the micro scale of molecules to the macro scale of the human body. The conversation, constant between the left and right, through dominance, balance, precarity and stability, allows the viewer some insight into the whole.
Question: How would you define three-dimensional handedness?
