All of these are examples of open to closed or closed to open obviously. But what's not obvious is how to go about making it abstract, and not just a literal translation with our bristol board models. I had this image of open and closed in my mind that were all so literal. I had to think of what open and closed actually meant to me, but the only way to do that without thinking about the opening and closing of a door was to think of the root definition of each word in its simplest form. Open- allows movement and doesn't allow restriction. Closed- restricted area, or blocking movement. After that, I could get away from the popular open square to closed square, and move towards something more unique. I suggest for your remake, if you're still having problems deciding what you want to do, give what I did a try, and just start sketching!
