thesis brainstorming

Just brainstorming more on my thesis. Again, content I'm not sure of but the theory of energy not being created or destroyed only displaced really interests me and I think I want to focus more on that than creating visual energy with design. I really like the religious side of this theory. I am not myself a very religious person but I do believe in divine energy and life after death and I think maybe it's something different than we think such as our souls traveling through different energy frequencies and we exist together but in separate frequencies. I have no idea how to represent that in design. As a designer I'm really interested in detail and intricate patterns with a whole bunch of smaller parts making up an amazing whole. Maybe I can create a strong and powerful large image from a ton of smaller parts. I want my piece(s) to have a strong effect both from up close and from a distance. I don't really want to do something 3d I want to stick with 2d. I recently have gotten into print making I'm not sure if that will influence the execution of my thesis but I'm open to it. I don't want to necessarily restrain myself to the computer.
