I would love to quote a famous Russian artist named Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) when asked what fascinates him about a circle.
He said:
"Circle ...
1. The most modest form, but asserts itself unconditionally
2. A precise, but inexhaustible variable
3. Simultaneously stable & unstable
4. Simultaneously loud & soft
5. A single tension that carries countless tension within it.
The circle is the synthesis of the greatest oppositions. It combines the concentric and eccentric in a single form, and in equilibrium. Of the three primary forms (triangle, circle, square) it points most clearly to the forth dimension."
I feel the same about the sphere, a round balloon.
