The curge of diagonals in the middle series is a new component which creates visual complexity. In the recent series the zig zags are presented in groups of thick and thin lines rather than singly. Thus it becomes difficult to say whether the newest series is simpler or more complex than the earlier ones. This condition is allied with the artist's philosophical belief, derived from Buddhism, that enough complexity ultimately resolves into simplicity, that beyond the constructions of dualistic thing they become one in the same.
