I like it.... but don't 'get it'. Assuming there is something to get and this isn't an emperors new clothes thing to see how many people 'get it', when there's nothing to get

Please explain soon

I like the perspective and composition. There's a little bit of blowout on some of the pieces. I wonder how it would be with colored paper.

Thanks Ralph, I assure you, there IS something to "get"

Irfan, thanks, I blew them a bit in post to get rid of a bit of texture on the paper and a good contrast between the sides, hopefully as I go on I can just use the light and not "have to" blow it out in post. This is converted to black and white because I'm using white paper and warm light and I really don't like the results, it's too "paper" if that makes sense lol! I haven't used colours yet, need to take a trip to the Dollar Store and get more supplies, I think getting colours in with different words and concepts will be way cool

Thanks Runnah, may I ask what you would do differently with the composition?

There are two different schools of thought behind pieces like this. One being trying to make a design out of the shapes and negative space. Two being using the shapes to form a pleasflowing design.

My ****ty examples.

Thanks Runnah, that's where I thought you were going with your comment but wanted to check. There are some more geometric ones in the works but lets just say that in this composition and set I'm currently working on ... there is a method to my madness!
