Regarding Gare's box image -- there again words are needed to convey what it's about. If you couldn't read the box labels what meaning would you gain from a group of boxes? Why do so many of the images supposedly of the concept of infinity use written words to get the meaning across? Why are all the old symbols constantly rehashed and no new symbols of infinity are created? You have to be told what all of them mean or you may just see them as connected shapes --- certainly not boundless shapes.
If you want to think outside the "box" you need to get rid of the box.

Thanks, dutchim!
I wish we could zoom in on the center.
And get nowhere!
My Best,

Thanks Gare!

Oh, I read all of that before. You also asked for new ideas. Not your ideas.

Angry Infinity says he's going to get Mr Whatsisname on you all. Then you'll be sorry!
Angry Infinity is only interested in why we've not got to 15 pages of drawings, already???
Think, draw, post, but above all, ENJOY!

No disrespect intended, but the only thing that I see is that you have allowed words to talk you out of trying. I will put my odds on the artist that at least are trying. I believe one day an artist with the unique talent to express himself in this area will put together something that will represent infinity. Throughout history impossibility was spoken before the developers of airplanes, space travel, computers... Today the phone that I carrying my pocket has more computing capabilities then the computers that took up several rooms. So the words that you put before us are just hurdles that one artist Will conquer. At least the ones that are trying.
