Pergunto aos colegas: qual seria a melhor palavra em inglês para "linha", em "tendo como característica a linha de construção geométrica não linear"? Obrigada! Segue o período completo:

Inspirada no modernismo de artistas como Sônia Delanay, Athos Bulcão, Lígia Clark e Hélio Oiticica, tendo como característica a linha de construção geométrica não linear, que busca captar do acaso nuances que passam despercebidas por nós no cotidiano e criam novas figuras, propondo outra percepção da espacialidade, do diálogo entre as fronteiras das formas mais puras e outras que questionam traços e ideias matematicamente herméticas e limitadas.
