The construction

A mixed-angle kite replaces the square: three right angles and one sixty-degree angle. Four exact shared interfaces repeat around a threefold meeting point at the disk center.

About this study

An original geometric interpretation, not a tracing of the concept board. The oblique drawing gives the wings a slight asymmetry; the leaf grows from a petiole between them. Inspect the pair, nearby tiles, or silhouettes alone.
