"Asymmetry is the rhythm in which we live our lives."

Until the first day of class, I never put much thought into the concept of asymmetry. Before, I mainly saw real world or computer generated objects as going in the same direction or in all different directions. Now however, asymmetry has taught me the up and down, side to side movement I see whether I am driving home, taking a walk, or in my apartment, is known as asymmetry. To give the proper definition of the word that this post is encompassed around, asymmetry is the lack of balance and symmetry between two or more things. Diagonals are what asymmetry avoids at all costs. Below are five photographs that represent asymmetry in all different forms. So, let's take a look!

 Kansas City Skyline: within this photo the skyscrapers themselves create the asymmetric movement being shorter and taller than one another. 

 Apartment Fire Escape: within this photo the stairs create diagonals that get blocked out by going in a side to side motion which represents asymmetry. 

 Colorful Flowers: within this photo, from left to right each flower goes in an up and down motion creating the perfect asymmetry through nature. 

 Tree Line: within this photo each tree, similar to the buildings above, is forming asymmetric movement by being a different height of another.

End Table Lamp: within this photo the rocks that form the middle structure of the lamp go side to side without ever really lining up creating asymmetry.
