Introduction to Wrecked Tangles (Encircled)

I am working on a very extensive project called "Wrecked Tangles (Encircled)" currently. This is the first album for the series I made for internet usage in this project http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=38408&id=171452642880039. I titled this project this way as a play on words for "rectangles and circles." It is also intended to imply bad "tangles" in relationships with people being "wrecked." Science calls relationships now "quantum entanglements."


Psychologically speaking, when someone is stronger or has more influence in a debate or social situation she or he is said to have a stronger "frame." We all know frames are used to give a picture a stronger "frame" both physically and psychologically. A frame is rectangular in shape, so this project involves the simple rectangular shape to convey a message that spans so much of human understanding and experience.


I also might add that real estate owners own plots of land which are usually rectangular in shape when seen from above in an airplane. Retail super-centers are made mostly out of brick which are rectangular in shape as well as the plot of land they are positioned on.


Another understanding I wanted to distinguish is that nature always has a way of deteriorating, decomposing and weathering man made objects and buildings over extended periods of time. This is derived from a book by Rudolf Arnheim in his book Entropy and Art. http://mysite.pratt.edu/~arch543p/readings/Arnheim.html
