RELATIONSHIPS

Unity and Affinity
Elements within a particular natural form--cells, sections, or layers that make up a surface--usually display affinity. These elements are not strict repetitions, but vary individually or progressively to conform to an overall shape and structure. There might be several types of elements, with affinity among elements of the different types.

Affinity establishes unity. Unity is also established by fitting elements tightly together. Transitions create a smooth flow between elements.
