I chose this piece because it really brings it all into
balance. It’s a symmetrical balance brought together by very straight lines and
several boxes placed together to make one large box. There is colour, from the screenprinting process used in this piece. There are individual and non symmetrical shapes within the box, the portraits, but it doesn't distract from the symmetry of the piece because they are all of the same subject, men with beards. I also chose this piece because of what I just mentioned, beards. It's so interesting to see the personalities showing through, through the process of hair trimming.
