What are aesthetics?

Why do I like what I like and you don't?

Apart from culture and time, is there something universal we all might like?

I am not sure but do like playing with the idea.

 

Emotion is also a major factor in the experience of beauty.

In an environment of nature emotions seem to have less boundries.

The harmony one can find in symmetry and geometry also can be found in nature.

Symmetry, lining and the so called golden ratio are of great value to my work.

 

I am searching for order and feeling obliged to use myself as a medium to find order in emotion,

form and environment.
