In an attempt to vary the background while still giving off a sense of dismality, I decided to fill the background with a moody wine red color, yet another color that Kandinsky doesn't seem to use very often in his works. My initial instinct for the first few objects was to incorporate Kandinsky's affinity for scientific imagery, hence the Erlenmeyer flask-looking form. Then, I wanted to express his worldly views while also including the careful detail he put into several small strokes and dots in the original composition, seemingly to demonstrate individuality. I then added several variations of squares of differing sizes, representing the galactic splatter of geometric shapes, hoping to give off the same "bird's eye view" perspective of the original work. To this same affect, I added ribbon-like strokes and straight lines. I also added a hazily outlined circle, as Kandinsky often regarded the circle as a pure building block of the universe. Finally, I included a book-like object and a symbol resembling pi, as well as several circles to supposedly represent mankind.
