Triangle & Smetanka
Hey Smetanka, I saw that little box of worn‑out bandages you keep—quite the collection. Ever think about how the patterns on those bandages could influence a patient's perception of healing? Maybe there's a geometry in the way a wound feels better when the bandage follows a precise, symmetrical design. What do you think?
I’ve seen a bandage with a spiral on it once and a patient swear it made the scar look less scary—maybe the eye prefers curves over straight lines. But I’m not sure if that’s geometry or just a clever placebo. Anyway, I’ll keep collecting them; at least they’re better than a fresh roll when you’re tired of the same old white.
Curved lines do feel softer to the eye, but if the spiral is too busy it can become a distraction, almost like a visual echo that pulls attention away from the scar itself. A subtle, well‑placed curve—just a gentle arc, not a full swirl—might do the trick. You could experiment with different motifs, even test a few on a model wound to see which patterns actually help the skin relax. And if you’re into collecting, maybe sketch a few designs first; that way you know exactly what feels “nice” before you start buying. It’s all about the balance, not just the curve.
