A single leaf heralds the autumn, from Huainanzi: The MountainPersuasion : “when I see a leaf fall, I know that the year is about toend.”

What we see is a leaf drifting away, but we get the dialectical thinking of “change” and “constant”.

The imagery of autumn is often associated with falling leaves, dropping temperatures and raucous cicadas, as well as dry air, clear skiesand golden wheat felds.

Two simple arcs outline the shape of “leaves’or “wheat ears”.

Through combination and arrangement, the designer shows the effect of making a big difference with a small one.

Betweenthe holes, there is a sense of sadness and depression, but also a senseof clarity and openness.
