Ugly can be Beautiful


This is the inside of my closet in my office. It's just a bunch of hardware for the fire sprinkler system thing and it is kinda ugly and intrusive. But, at the same time I noticed how amazing it really is....it's all complex and layered and so much intelligence and thought had to go into creating it, down to what color to make this less than attractive pieces of steel. Someone, somewhere, had to make some aesthetic decisions. Crazy.

  1. I really think the smooth curves, and straight line all add to this picture. The Different colors, also add a unique element to the way this is looked at. It is so bulky but still manages to catch your eye.

  2. Nice post Levi. You are absolutely right-you can find evidence of aesthetic decisions everywhere....even hidden in closets and inside walls...
