Themes:

A lot of the photos I took have very rigid forms and are quite sturdy structures. This is likely because of the durability and amount of stress that such a form can withstand. Having such firm and steady structures is important to people because we can rely on them to fulfill whatever task it was designed for. 

Possible Artistic Ramifications:

• Fleshing out the wire figures could create a more realistic and sturdy piece
• Incorporating different parts of buildings can make them more secure and less likely to collapse
• Symmetrical structures can be used to inspire photographs and other artworks
• An artist who uses unique structures to support a building is Antoni Gaudi. His cathedral is comprised of unique supports that contribute to the overall structure of the church.
