The human brain loves repetition. Pattern recognition is a big part of how we’re wired. It’s why we connect dots in the sky to make constellations, and why we’ve been successful at observing the cycles of the seasons, and using that knowledge to our advantage. Repeating forms help us find order amidst chaos, so it’s no wonder that artists make use of patterns in their work.
