The distinctive petal pattern of the hydrangea is easily recognizable even when presented in a highly manipulated form, as in this piece which began as original photography by ejthek. The fascinating balance between artistic abstraction and natural organic form speaks to the wonder of human pattern perception, and explores the question of whether abstraction has inherent beauty or is a result of the contextual bias of those anchored in an organic perspective.
