It is like you are looking into the image through a window. <br /><br />(It also has some colour complimentary pairings going on with the yellow/green and red/blue pairings.)<br /><br /><br />The human figure, even though centred, has those cogs smack bang along the left most vertical division which adds a strong weighting to that side. This helps to emphasise more empty space figure is facing.<br /><br />I sincerely doubt this is accidental so it does seem a little silly to suggest that it lacks unity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13680625603206089113noreply@blogger.com
