Dots Getting Smaller or Bigger
Dots getting smaller, or bigger. Call them spheres, or tori, or curled portals if it makes sense. I'm not sure what to call those dots. Image A and B are downward flow, starting from higher-density and getting bigger with downward progression. Image C starts as a horizontal outflow from the side of a Makara mouth, then goes upward and gets smaller. Image E's snaketail getting smaller as it has an upward flow, it seems equivalent to the dots on image D, F and G. BUT, upward outflows, like a flame or leaf, can be bidirectional and so the dots and snaketail could potentially be downward/inward flow at the center of those outflows.
It's not usually clear what to think. But at least it introduces the topic of small and larger, of thin becoming thicker, and then when you see the weird stuff I collected in here: https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/thin-to-thick/ it might help you wonder-, as I do-, if thin to thick symbolism is more prevalent than we realized. And then wonder, is pressure and maybe deflation part of the mechanics? Or other ideas? This weird collection (URL above) is an example of collecting before having a theory.
