A point in every direction is the same thing as no point at all
...keeps her in one place.
The base image is a previous abstract result.
The prompt is from the film, "The Point!" 1970, by Harry Nilsson, animation by Fred Wolf. The narration goes like this:
"Finally the two travellers reached what appeared to be the entrance to the Pointless Forest. There was a huge thorny barrier with a small sign at its base which read 'THIS WAY'. Once on the other side of the barrier, Oblio and Arrow had their first encounter with the pointless man or the pointed man depending upon your point of view. You see, the pointless man did have a point - He had hundreds of them all pointing in different directions, but as he so quickly pointed out, "A point in every direction is the same as - as no point at all!"
According to Wikipedia, 'Nilsson explained his inspiration for The Point!: "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses [each] came to point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's [still] a point to it.'"
(What can I say... you just had to be there.)
