"The Portal" is a digital fractal print I created in an application that assists the artist in designing numeric algorithm-based forms. Fractals provide a fascinating, graphic window on the underlying borderline between order and chaos. This beautiful and dynamic pattern reminds me of the opening of portals, one after the other, through which to enter many different dimensions.
