MetrOrganism was designed for three cylindrical pillars in the Aspirations Diploma Plus High School library. Student artists developed imagery through observation of the immediate neighborhood and environment. They maintained notebooks of their personal reflections about the characteristics of their local community and the city as a whole. The students also studied the Da Vincian principle of Curiosita: an insatiable approach to life and unrelenting quest for continued learning. Free association exercises led the students to a vision of the city as living organism. Each image in the triptych is continuous to the left and right in either direction.
