Mandelroid

The Mandelbrot set is a mathematical object that is generated by a simple formula, and it exhibits some interesting visual patterns that are reminiscent of those found in nature, such as the self-similarity of branching structures, the repetition of small-scale patterns on larger scales, and the presence of chaotic behavior.

The beauty of Polaroid film lies in its ability to capture and preserve a moment in space and time in a unique and tangible way.

This work combines two things that are incongruent with each other and brings them together to create a digital memory that serves as a reminder that complexity can be found even in the simplest things, that art is intrinsic to nature itself.
