In this composition, the edge relationships offer one kind of tension within the space, some more
aggressive and others less so. At the same time, the edge relationships of angular forms create
tension relative to the open, sweeping forms of the curved elements; a similar change in tension
occurs between the line elements—which are themselves angular, but in the foreground—and the
angular plane surface—which appears as a background element. Both angled plane and lines con-
trast with each other in identity and apparent spatial position, but complement each other's sharp,
geometric qualities. This attribute is yet another type of tension.
