This image represents the law of continuity using Gestalt principles, it shows the white box in the middle that even though not completed by lines, your minds eye draws the rest of the box with the law of continuity. I like this image in the fact that it has pac-man like characters on the edge which are quarter circles and two lines in the middle that give the whole image a sense of symmetry.

This box by Louise Nevelson is rustic looking and has unity in its circular shapes but shows contrast with the few rectangular shapes and wooden exterior. I like this Box for its simplicity and wooden rustic feel, The circular objects stay in the boxes frame but some of the rectangular objects go out side of the frame and give a nice contrast to the norm.

This is Lucas Samara Box #53, and it was made in 1966, I like that Lucas Samara uses mixed media to create his boxes, the description on this box is less than lacking, they do not really tell how it was made or even if the birds are stuffed or made from scratch. I do like the imagery though, it seems like the birds are very diverse, I see a cardinal, humming bird, and many other different types of birds, making this a diversity picture for birds, all sharing the same box. But that is just my interpretation.
