The same way as cardealers present their newest products with scarsely dressed females. As an example I sampled words related to particular problems of elasticity , knowledge representation and symmetry in space to connect them with my files of 1. naked women only dressed with a belt, 2. women showing their breasts while fixating the spectator, 3. women busy taking of their blouses over their heads.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nIn re-interpretating the images, I re-use them across the chosen word. For this I invent slightly fighting logical schemes to induce a certain random factor, for the sake of serendipity, synchronicity. In this way I try things out, I see how they work, if they work.
