corner view: contrast




"there was always in me, two women at least, one woman desperate and
bewildered, who felt she was drowning and the other who would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, conceal her true emotions because they were weaknessess, helplessness, despair and present to the world only a smile, an eagerness, curiosity, interest"
--anais nin





cont-rast [n. kon-trast]
-noun
opposition or juxtaposition of different forms, lines or colors in a

element's properties and produce a more dynamic
expressiveness
