A square can fit inside a circle, or it can contain one.
But they’ll never be equal.
“Sure,” you say, “but the same could be said of the circle, right?”
“Right. But the circle doesn’t have sharp corners.”
The square does. Four of them. Non-negotiable.
Then comes the triangle. Three corners only. Less stable. More pointed.
It can contain lesser circles, lesser squares — or become part of something larger.
It fits nowhere neatly, yet always suggests direction.
A wedge. A warning. A weapon?
It can build.
Bridges, domes, towers — held together by three sides leaning into each other, locked in tension.
No perfect curves, unless they’re inserted — or worn like masks.
But strength isn’t the same as stability.
The triangle doesn’t rest flat — it braces. It leans.
It holds by holding together.
It holds more than it contains.
And maybe that’s the point.
