Faces of Chaos
After working with the equations in my Aesthetic Explorations series for a few years, I began to wonder if there was a way to capture the nature of the strange attractor system, visually. In other words, what is going on here at a higher dimension, at the "meta" level? These questions birthed the Faces of Chaos series, which visualize the system using a unique mapping of the Lyapunov exponent to the image plane. At a more subconscious level, the images and titles I chose from the myriad of possibilities evoke an almost mythological aura, with archetypes such as "king" and "warrior" emerging from the chaos.
