Abstract: Symmetry is the universal law of nature, and abstract geometry is the visual language of its formal world. Thales' structural analysis of natural structures led to the extension of Thales’ theorem of parallel secants and secant segments to arcs. The pattern that emerges when applying the principle of construction to regular polygons involves the topology of the hypercube, a symbolic projection of higher spatial dimensions, the expression of which is central to my artistic endeavours.
