Big In Japan

I've been researching the Japanese concept or philosophy called "Ma."  One of my favourite directors is Hayao Miyazaki of "My Neighbour Totoro" and "Spirited Away"  fame and I watched an interview where he talked about Ma, necessary, empty space. He was explaining why in anime there are many scenes in a movie where nothing is happening. Japanese culture values the empty spaces as much as the filled. He went on to describe how a hand clapping needs both the hands meeting and the space in between to be effective.

I thought this was a beautiful, simple concept which I would like to explore further. I made this line drawing using one continuous line and I'll try it out using wire.
