serendipity

While thinking deeply about my senior thesis statement, Hugh and I headed to the Design Museum. We decided that we both needed some inspiration.

Upon arrival, we discovered that it was 5 quid to enter, and the museum was much smaller than we had hoped for. However, this one piece of artwork outside gave me all the inspiration I needed.

"Though human genious in its various inventions with various instuments may answer the same end, it will never find an invention more beautiful or more simple or direct than nature, because in her inventions nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous."

- Leonardo Da Vinci

From the perspective of an art/ design student writing an in-depth paper on the limitations of the human mind and understanding, I can't imagine a more fitting quote cast in metal for my consumption.
