Language and geometry exemplify stylization, where symbols and shapes represent meanings and visualize space-time relationships. Tsers’ art focuses on three primary forms: the square, triangle, and circle, exploring their relationships through specific series. One of Tsers’ projects is the “Muses” series, which pays homage to the nine muses of Greek and Roman mythology. Each muse represents a different art form, and Tsers’ installations capture…
