21]1]I]
As a
oerson
who orimarilv
experiences
his
environment
visually,
I
am always
obseiving
my immediate
iurrbundings.
Consequently,
I
am
constantly
putIing
things
inbrder,,
sorling
lhem oul.,
until
they become
a
whole.
My
preference
for
clear structures
is Ihe iesult oI
my desire,
p'erhaps
illusory' to
keep
track
o[
things and
mainl.ain
my
grip
on the
world.'
