Figure Ground Reversal


By repeating one form within a grid formatted pattern, we are able to create a two-dimensional composition of both equal positive and negative space. While looking at the picture to the right it is apparent that the black forms generate the positive space and the white forms generate negative area, creating the effect that the composition is of equal proportions. By alternating the form within each square and positioning it in different way as well as reversing the positive and negative reveal a process of the study of Rubin's vase.


Although Rubin’s vase creates two distinct images (two men’s faces or a vase like cup) the image here is a way to generate such artwork utilizing the inspiration of forms and understanding how positive and negative space work together. Because our minds fill in the blanks, we use our natural senses to distinguish certain shapes within images. By perceiving different forms within a composition creates an allusion making it difficult to pin point the original design within the image.

I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up!

I saw the fear in my family eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 59 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals.

  2. Rhonda S.’s COPD made her feel short of breath and like she was constantly dragging. While her inhalers helped some, she just didn’t feel like herself anymore.
    After having life-threatening pneumonia, she knew something had to change. A friend of hers mentioned multivitamin herbal formula restoration treatment, so Rhonda did
    some research and decided to receive treatment at the multivitamin herbal cure. “I started to feel better almost right away,” Rhonda said.
    And, along with feeling better, she began to do things she couldn’t do before treatment. Now, Rhonda can take showers, work in her flower garden, and she enjoys having more energy. It’s with a great deal of hope, Rhonda says, “I feel more like myself.”
    Like Rhonda, you can breathe easier and bring normal life back within reach. If you or someone you love has a chronic lung disease and would like more information, contact them visit their website multivitamincare org
