Visual balance and symmetry create a sense of stability and harmony.

Symmetrical compositions have been proven to arouse a sense of order and calm among viewers.
This fact is most apparent in the natural order (nature, sea life and even the universe itself) where consistent, repeating patterns can allude to a greater, organizing force.

Scientists have proven that human faces with symmetrical and proportional features are shown to achieve higher scores on measures of beauty, likability and even trust.

Perfect facial proportions are often associated with the Golden Ratio, a mathematical concept where a ratio of approximately 1:1.618 is considered aesthetically pleasing. This ratio can be observed in various facial features and their relationships, contributing to the perception of beauty.

The "Vitruvian Man," a famous drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, depicts a nude male figure within both a circle and a square, arms and legs outstretched. Created around 1490, it's a study of human proportions based on the writings of the Roman architect Vitruvius. The drawing symbolizes the ideal human form and the Renaissance belief in the harmony between man and the universe.
