DraconicFractals

A curve, when it is folded onto itself, becomes a dragon — recursive, self-similar, quietly yours.

I am an Iranian-born artist working at the intersection of classical ornament and generative systems. My work begins with a simple observation: the recursive curve — folded, re-folded, endlessly self-similar — has always carried the mark of a living system. From the spiral of a seashell to the branching of a river delta, natural forms build themselves by repeating a simple rule.

Draconic Fractals is a seed-based generative system that translates that rule into code. Each composition is built from a grid of tiles, each one containing a dragon curve — a famous fractal generated by repeatedly folding a line at right angles. Alternating tiles are rotated by 90°, and every tile is coloured from a small hue palette, producing a dense, tessellated field.

The recursion order, the tile skip pattern, and the palette are all derived from a single numeric seed. Each piece can be regenerated, documented, and adapted for textile, print, and surface applications — from scarves and yardage to wallpaper and archival print.
