Its a very historical artifact, i think it is also related from how people lived back onto those days when all they have is a tablet of rock and some fruits which they use as their paint.

Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. The sources from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time.

We’re not sure of what the pattern means? There was a purpose to the pattern? Really? Is it just beyond the bounds of imagination that it means somebody looked up one day and said “Ugh…that wall…”

Not only have I struggled with things like ovarian cysts, but I’m currently going through menopause. I use color to denote different things like ovulation and heaviness of flow instead of text so the entire year can be seen at once. This kind of looks like my spreadsheet.

I mean, I’m sure that’s probably not what it is, but . . well, it’s just interesting.

Apparently they’re not related.

“Mother” is quite different in Hebrew (“Ima”) and Arabic (“Umm”). OTOH “father” is “baba” both in Turkish and Mandarin… Tricky words, these are.
