Fractal Curly Flower
This swirling, organic form is inspired by the Mandelbulb, a 3D fractal known for its intricate curls and branching patterns. Instead of modeling petals or stems, the structure grows from a mathematical formula that expands the classic Mandelbrot set into three dimensions.
Each point in space is repeatedly transformed—stretched, rotated, and powered—until a delicate, flower-like shape emerges. The curls form naturally from these iterations, creating loops and tendrils that resemble petals unfolding in infinite layers.
Color and shading are determined by how deeply each point is pulled into the fractal’s field, giving the flower its soft gradients and sense of depth. The result is a form that feels both mathematical and alive, a bloom grown entirely from numbers rather than nature.
