Perfect Patterns

As Ann-Christine reminds us, in this week’s challenge, the perfect pattern probably doesn’t exist, but it can be perfect for us or for a purpose.

In this image I see two patterns: the one of the lace itself and the pattern of the pillow.

Mudejar art is a properly Spanish type of construction. The Aragonese Mudejar is a World Heritage Site, where brick becomes the protagonist both in the structure and in the decoration, creating different motifs on its facades. Another peculiarity of these constructions is the use of ceramics in their ornamentation.

We can also find patterns in modern buildings, like this one in Bilbao with its facade full of glass forming rectangles or even in repetitive reflections.

We are still in Bilbao, a less modern building but we can still find decorative patterns on its façade and what about the drawings created in the garden?

Many examples can be found in nature, such as in a field of sunflowers. Seen from afar, they look like geometrically placed suns and if we look inside one of them, the concentric circles trap us.
