To its right, in black, is its positive space, the silhouette of the vase with flowers. Notice how the gaps, the spaces between flowers, have been removed to create a gap-free form.[br][br][center][url=https://www.geogebra.es/paintings/figura%207a%20color.jpg][img]https://www.geogebra.es/paintings/peq/figura%207a%20color.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://www.geogebra.es/paintings/figura%207b.png][img]https://www.geogebra.es/paintings/peq/figura%207b.png[/img][br][/url]Figure 7: [i]Gap-free silhouette of a focal area[/i][i][/i][/center][br]By isolated, we mean without a common border. If two focal areas share a border (or even give the illusion of "overlapping"), we will consider them as part of a single focal area that integrates both.[br][br]In the upper part of Figure 8, an abstract painting (see Malevich's painting later), two rectangular shapes seem to overlap: a wide orange rectangle appears to partially cover a thin red rectangle. Notice how their silhouettes merge into one.[br][br][center][url=https://www.geogebra.es/paintings/figura%208a%20color.jpg][img]https://www.geogebra.es/paintings/peq/figura%208a%20color.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://www.geogebra.es/paintings/figura%208b.png][img]https://www.geogebra.es/paintings/peq/figura%208b.png[/img][/url][br]Figure 8: [i]Two focal areas merging into a single silhouette[/i][i][/i][/center]
