You'll see below that the progress shots look quite orderly... But between the first and second image, there was a lot of trial and error when swapping out formulae to see if I could find anything.

“There are only patterns, patterns on top of patterns, patterns that affect other patterns. Patterns hidden by patterns. Patterns within patterns. If you watch close, history does nothing but repeat itself. What we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can't decipher. what we can't understand we call nonsense. What we can't read we call gibberish. There is no free will. There are no variables.”

The Creation Process:
Here are the initial progress images, but as I said above, between the first and second image, a lot of time went into swapping out and discarding formulae combinations:
Once the curves started appearing more and more, with dark space in the discs, I suddenly imagined dozens of suns of all sizes being eclipsed, all clumped together by some unknown force...
So I decided on a colour change, after which all that was left was the framing:
And what I'm now especially excited about is that as I was preparing this post, I played around with the parameters of this piece and discovered an entirely new, beautiful piece... Watch this space ;)
