Work Description
While taking a test or an exam on a rainy day your attention may be distracted by sunrays conquering the grayness. We use dots to mark our answers, and suddenly we may realize how dots may serve other purposes: to organize, summarize, categorize, inform, order, and position, to say nothing about small dots of rain gathering on window panes. The pattern they create travel as we do through our progress.
