Description
This is Escher’s representation of the order and chaos within our world. The world that surrounds us seems
chaotic, however these random objects are highly organized on a molecular level – the crystal in the center
represents the highly ordered molecular structure of most solids.
“I try in my prints to testify that we live in a beautiful and orderly world and not in formless chaos, as it
sometimes seems.” - MC Escher.
