Triangle and Quad

Triangle and Quad thumbnail

Adapted from Triangle and Quad, created by Fabian Morón Zirfas.

Two outlined triangles overlap to suggest a skewed quadrilateral, yet each complete triangle remains the stronger perceived form. The fixed composition retains the source study's tension between closure and ambiguity.

// ABOUTME: Overlaps two outlined triangles whose intersections imply a shifting quadrilateral.
// ABOUTME: Demonstrates how closure favors the simpler triangular forms over their shared shape.
