There are many experts and scientists who write about the importance of communication, mutual trust, respect ... but not so many talk about the persistence or perseverance of partners. These are the qualities needed in a mosaicist when aseesmbing the pieces into a final artwork. The result is not visible until the end. In the porcess, the mosaicist may get cut, but that will not stop him or her from labouring until the whole image emerges.
The mosaicist is mindful throughout the entire process.
The construction of the mosaic and marriage have a lot in common. The difference is perhaps, that the fuel for the mosaicist is the aspiration for making the artwork as best as possible, for the couple the aspiration is the desire for continuing/improving the relationship, the seek for the balance.
