My abstract tile has spikes of different sizes attached to the top, and a tunnel with a line of spikes crossing to the other side of it. Form, line, and color are the biggest elements that I focused on when designing this tile. The grouping and dispersion of the spikes, along with the shape of the tunnel form an abstract look representing the deeper meaning. The one idea I had was representing migrating populations of animals, people, bugs, or really anything and the obstacles they overcome. The line of spikes crossing the tunnel, or obstacle, is a population breaking off from the group. I do like this piece because of how it turned out. I was sure if I would be able to attach the spikes to the tunnel without accidentally making it collapse, but I somehow managed it.
