It is an exercise about breaking patterns and looking for new and creative solutions.
The task in this exercise is simple – to assemble all the elements of the puzzle so that they match perfectly. This apparently simple task helps explore and question thinking patterns and acquire the ability for out of the box thinking. The exercise enables to experience how we unconsciously follow our assumptions and realize that sometimes we need to challenge deep-rooted pre-conceptions that limit creative and innovative thinking.
