化圓為方 (Squaring the circle)

A Mask, Vaslav Fomich Nijinsky, 1919
The great ballet dancer Vaslav Fomich Nijinsky was world famous during his tenure with the Ballets Russes, directed by Sergei Pavlovich Diaghilev. But his mental health declined, and he spent time in asylums, where he created drawings fixated on circular forms. Photo: Jonathan Stokes/© The Vaslav and Romola Nijinsky Estate.
