"[S]ome shift of vision had altered his perspective; he saw clearly that the gaps between the larger stones made the same sorts of shapes as the gaps between the smaller ones. The more he looked, the more the arrangement repeated itself. Suddenly he understood this as a condition of things… there it would be, a boiling, inexplicable, vertiginous similarity in all the processes of the world, roaring silently away from you in ever-shifting repetitions, always the same, never the same thing twice. In that moment he was lost." http://…/

That has same inspiration indeed!
For the story of the invisible city.
I think sometimes about people living in that symmetrical space…

floating grey block. I like grey… I also like the grid of windows in the background.

You should read Italo Calvino’s "Invisible Cities"?

I think there’s a chapter in that about a city which has a symmetrical/mirror city.

Wow! "Le Citta’ Invisibili" is my most favorite novel. Yes, I read it many times. It is great source of my inspiration!
