What's more satisfying? Order or chaos? It all depends on who you talk to. In recent years, Marie Kondo has been promoting the issue of tidiness and order, which has touched many people. In a chaotic world, controlling one's domestic environment is inviting. All the more so as the consumer society pushes us to buy constantly, which leads to accumulation. His philosophy went against the grain, so that people would keep what was really important and store it carefully.
Order even leads some people to make art. While many artists love to provoke disorderly works, some will make sure to create very clear, rectilinear images. Some will literally sort everything from the pencils on the table to the cars in the parking lot and the dead leaves to create a harmonious representation. Others will be adept at "knolling", an approach that involves taking everyday elements and placing them in a straight square where each component is either horizontal or vertical.
This approach to visual art won't appeal to everyone, but it does provide an opportunity to see items, nature and so on in a different light. The aim is not to make chaos disappear, but rather to provide a sense of satisfaction through tidying, filing, etc.
