Why do humans love spirals?
Why do we draw, carve, paint and build them?
First of all, because they abound in nature.
Second: because we perceive them as deeply symbolic.

And, who knows, because they open bottles of wine.
In all seriousness: spirals are everywhere.
It’s hard not to notice the magnificent double spiral staircase in the Vatican Museums (designed by Giuseppe Momo, sculpted by Antonio Maraini) - but we mostly miss all those other spirals in our lives.
This week that is what we’ll turn our attention to.
Today, start spotting spirals.
Capture them, and share them using the hashtag #kramerseye on Twitter or Instagram.
