Pearls #21

Pearls is a generative minimal artwork made with 100% code in p5js.

This algorithm places perfectly round pearls into multiple stacked grids and connects them in a pleasing way. The small grids lead to interesting emerging patterns. Some see faces and fish, others see ancient hardware and elephants, and some just enjoy the minimal simplicity.
