Salvador Dali's "Metamorphosis of Narcissus" is a perfect example of a flawed type of symmetry. Dali is obviously using symmetry in this work to draw attention to the similarities between the two forms. He also mainly uses reds, blues and yellows, in a more detailed way than I have but it is a similarity nonetheless. Obviously, being a part of the surrealism movement, the images depicts a dream-like landscape. It uses symbolism to create a narrative. In my work lately, the symbolism of skulls and other icons related to death and such have become very apparent. I think this is where, if anywhere, meaning will be derived.
