Stamps
Artistic representations of mathematics have traditionally appropriated aesthetic forms derived from math equations as illustrations. This stamps series takes the opposite tack, revealing the beauty inherent in math by employing its notation in service of poetry.
Each stamp's monetary value becomes inspiration for its individual design. The number corresponds to the age of the person the poem is representing. The color of the stamps reflects the season of life corresponding to that age.
