Playing with shapes is an essential part of human cognition. Since toddlers, we learn to interact with the world around us using at the same time real-life objects with no simplifications and also simple, pure geometric forms that excite our imagination: what can I do with a circle and a pentagon? Human existence is one of questioning and discovery, of trial and error and learning.

This is the first piece from a series that pays a little tribute to that process. Simple shapes that can be combined in number, size and colour, shuffled in space, repeated, to trigger a thought, to excite a neuron, to make us (hopefully) feel the excitement of discovery. Re-discovery, re-descubrimientos.
