The Straight Curve | Santie Cronje

'The Straight Curve' in situ with vessels by Michelle Connolly 

A metaphorical concept, it generally refers to the idea that life, progress, and development are not linear or predictable, but rather involve a mix of straight paths and curves. It suggests that embracing change, adapting to challenges, and navigating setbacks are essential for growth and success.
