Geometry Tessellation project

My tessellation is a translation tessellation. A translation tessellation is when a picture slides to the left and right and fit together like puzzle pieces. The pictures are all the same, except for very minor surface differences. Translation tessellation are created by moving the top of the template top the bottom and moving the left of the template to the right. Then you make a grid and line up the corners. Trace the template, and erase the grid lines. Then fill in the pictures and you have a translation tessellation. My tessellation is of oddly-shaped figures with different features. Each has a unique face to it. No two figures are the same. They are all different in some way or another. One is reading, another is playing basketball. Some of them are even interacting with another one or more. For example, there are two figures gossiping to each other. One figure is scaring another. They are all doing something. My tessellation is named “The Complexity of Modern Social life”. The reason I call it that is because the figures are all socializing, as said above. They are also in complex and confusing shapes, that still fit together. It shows that everyone is different in terms of personality and actions. However it also shows that every one is essentially the same, no matter how different they are. They are still beings of the same species, that help one another and communicate, no matter how different they seem to be. They live off of each other, and if even one was missing, the entire structure would collapse.
