The key to this image series is the counterbalance of the weights of several shapes.  More specifically we  created a background of many colors but the real action occurs on the foreground.  Each of the four polygons in the image is actually made of many smaller polygons, and the large one on the left weighs just as much as the three on the life.  It is interesting how the eye is drawn to the large shape even though the three smaller ones actually do take up just as much space.

To generate the images in this series, we first created the background by using image-compute. Next we created a procedure that makes the “poly-poly's”. The way this worked was by making each polygon within the general polygon one by one. Each polygon is created by generating the x and y components of each vertex separately, joining the components, then using image-select-polygon! to create the actual polygon. We varied all of the different aspects, (number of sides of the polygon, size of the polygons, number of inscribed polygons, and color scheme) by using modulo.
