The grid layer in the artwork plays a fundamental role in conveying the underlying structure and interconnectedness within the concept of distance. It serves as a visual representation of the framework that governs our journeys, influencing the paths we take and the connections we form along the way.
The grid, with its geometric arrangement of intersecting lines, establishes a sense of order, organization, and balance within the artwork. It symbolizes the various dimensions through which distance can be experienced, such as physical space, emotional depth, or temporal progression. The grid can evoke a sense of stability and stability amidst the complexity of our journeys.

The interaction between the grid and the lines creates a visual tension and dialogue within the artwork. The rigid structure of the grid contrasts with the fluidity and organic nature of the lines, reflecting the dynamic nature of distance. It suggests that while there may be a framework that guides our journeys, there is also room for exploration, deviation, and personal interpretation.

By incorporating the grid layer, the artwork provides viewers with a visual anchor, enabling them to navigate the complex web of lines. It represents the underlying structure that gives meaning and context to the journeys we undertake. The grid layer invites viewers to contemplate the balance between order and chaos, and to reflect on the ways in which distance shapes our perceptions, connections, and personal growth.

The cross-shaped points act as symbolic markers that signify stages or milestones within a journey. They represent significant moments of progress, transition, or reflection, highlighting the transformative nature of traversing distance. The cross shape carries universal symbolism, representing intersections, crossings, and the meeting of paths. It suggests a point of convergence and invites contemplation on the connections and intersections between different aspects of life.

Positioned on the borders of the artworks, the cross-shaped points play a pivotal role in conveying the dynamics of connectedness and disconnection. Some crosses are united by lines, signifying a strong sense of connection and continuity. These moments highlight the bonds, relationships, or shared experiences that bridge distances, emphasizing the strength of human connection or in a more singular perspective the progress of ones journey through the distance.

Other crosses remain separate, disconnected from one another. These points symbolize moments of isolation, solitude, or the gaps that exist within our journeys. They prompt viewers to contemplate the spaces of distance that challenge our sense of connection.
In certain instances, the crosses may be partially connected, representing moments of fleeting or tenuous connections. These points evoke a sense of transience, impermanence, or the delicate nature of certain relationships or experiences.

The perimeter of the artwork significantly contributes to conveying the fundamental concept of traversing landscapes and uniting distances. The cross-shaped points symbolize the milestones crossed during individual journeys and the interconnection reflecting one’s progress.

The border is entirely procedurally generated, determining the number of points, their positions, and whether they are fully, partially, or not connected.

Each combination represents distinct concepts. Fully connected points signify a completed journey, partially connected points indicate a journey in progress, and no connection denotes a journey yet to commence.

An example of a rare combination is: the “Round Trip,” which consists of having no points and being fully connected, where the starting point connects back to itself.
