Mandelblot by Samuel Farrand

Mandelblot by Samuel Farrand

Mandelblot draws its influence from two fascinating sources: Benoit Mandelbrot, the mathematician who coined the term fractal, and the Rorschach inkblot test, a psychoanalytic tool once used to explore the subconscious mind. Both concepts have captivated me in their own way, so I set out to challenge my artistic ability by merging their essences into a single piece.

I noticed a natural aesthetic connection between fractals and inkblots—both radiate symmetry, complexity, and depth from a central point. To amplify this connection, I infused the piece with radiance and glowing energy to give it a visionary, multidimensional feel.

To me, Mandelblot represents unfolding infinite consciousness, spiraling outward from an inner center into a fractalized fractal—the very embodiment of infinity. The symmetry also subtly mirrors the look of a traditional inkblot, tying the two inspirations together.

Mandelblot serves as a reminder that everything is constantly unfolding, and that within the human experience lies infinite potential—waiting to be released, cultivated, nurtured, and harvested. I see it as a potent symbol of consciousness itself—limitless, expansive, and forever evolving.
