Home is defined as the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household. The place that the young child spends almost exclusively the first years of his life. Usually the place that chooses to depict at his first attempts to draw.
A square with a triangle on the top form the iconic shape of what the most of us as children initially and as adults later we recognize as home. This iconic shape is the basic element of the pattern “Home sweet home”, the place we all miss when away, and we feel happy to return.
