Fractal Energy

This sculpture is based on the Sierpinski Triangle, which is the most basic mathematical representation of a fractal pattern. A fractal is a pattern that repeats endlessly, and appears the same at various scales.

Fractals exist all around us in the natural world - in seashells, tree branches, and in galaxies in outer space. When you interact with the sculpture, your own reflection becomes a part of the fractal pattern. As you zoom in and out of the sculpture, and your reflection becomes mirrored and fractured, you have the opportunity to think about how you are a part of the universe and everything within it.
