Infinity


This is a piece of fractal art I purchased from Dennis Brady. I find it beautiful and fascinating.

Did you know that an entire forest can be mapped from a single tree using fractal geometry? Fractals are commonly found in such natural phenomena as clouds, trees, snowflakes, coastlines, shells and hurricanes. A fascinating look at fractals and the science behind them can be seen in the PBS NOVA special Hunting the Hidden Dimension.

The mathematical formula for fractals is infinity.
