Ellipses

An ellipse, when it is repeated, becomes a mandala — concentric, precise, 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 concentric ring — rotated step by step around a shared centre — has always carried the mark of sacred geometry. From the rose windows of Gothic cathedrals to the mandalas of South Asian manuscript traditions, the repeated form is one of the oldest systems of ornamental computation we have.

Ellipses is a seed-based generative system that translates that structure into code. Each composition is built from two concentric rings — an outer ring of larger ellipses, and an inner ring of smaller ones. The two rings are offset by 45°, so their patterns interfere softly, producing a quiet, ornamental field.

The palette, the ellipse counts, and the size ratio between the two rings 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.
