The figure juggles several patterns she has formed, while immersed and surrounded by sequences of other patterns. The loose, perception pattern (symbolized by eyes and neurons) of her clothing, the pattern she choses to wear, contrasts with the symmetry of the background patterns. The figure doesn't 'fit in', and certainly the patterned masses she juggles do not blend in. She may be trying to make them fit somehow, or she may be keeping them separate.

Often our ideas, even our ideals, do not fit into the regular pattern of our lives, but we keep them delicately balanced, out there in front of our eyes, to remind us of what we strive to be. If we cling to one idea too long, the others must fall by the way. With concentration, however, we can keep various ideas going, sometimes for a lifetime.
