An artist might use forms within forms in order to express the multi-faceted nature of a character/object — to make a statement about the ways in which we contain multitudes.

An artist might choose forms within forms to comment on the interconnectedness of life, our shared DNA, the ways in which our lives are intertwined within a global ecosystem.

Artists might choose to construct people out of artificial objects to examine our fixation on what we own and consume.

An artist might also choose forms within forms to simply engage in a surreal and playful form of construction.
