“The results you achieve

will be in direct proportion

to the effort you apply.”

— Denis Waitley

Vitruvian Man

Leonardo daVinci’s Vitruvian Man study of proportions portrays the ideal human figure in two different positions – limbs spread wide and brought together – inscribed within the absolute forms of a circle and a square. The circle and the square have long been used as symbolic representations of the earth and the sky; DaVinci illustrates the correspondence between macrocosm and microcosm with his drawing of the human figure within them • Photo at the DaVinci Immersive Art Experience and “Proportion” haiku by Mary O’Connor
