Why do we like Symmetry?

There is no definitive answer yet to the question why the human brain likes all things symmetrical.
Symmetry means order and implies some kind of efficiency. May be we like symmetry because our body is organized along binary pairs. As all of our pairings are mostly not entirely symmetrical, our eyes are not exactly the same for example, it may be that we long for the ideal and therefore when we see it, we instantly like it.

When the dimension of all things visual is more important than the story you wanted to tell with your art, you enter the territory of symmetry and ornaments.
During my time at school I hated symmetry because it involved geometry
and only later on I got to like its due proportions and dimensions.
To fight agains boredom that quite often comes with symmetry you have to add some disturbing complexity.
Thats what I tried with the pieces shown here and you will tell me if I succeeded.
