Fixed Wave — Catalogue Computational Textile Design
A study in generative physics

FixedWave

A wave-equation simulation — a grid of cells rippling outward from a single source — algorithmically drawn, seed-documented, and ready for textile production.

For fashion houses, textile studios and surface designers. Each composition is generated from a single numeric seed and can be licensed, adapted or commissioned to your brief.

A wave, when it is simulated rather than drawn, becomes a physics — rippling, 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 wave — layered, oscillating, endlessly variable — has always carried the structure of ornament. From the geometric ripples of a Persian garden pool to the wave equation that governs sound and light, the physics of the wave is one of the oldest systems of mathematical beauty we have.

Fixed Wave is a seed-based generative system that translates the wave equation into code. Each composition is a small grid of cells, one of which is a continuously oscillating source. The wave propagates outward from the source, reflecting off the fixed boundaries of the frame, until the grid fills with a slow, breathing pattern of interference.

The grid size, the wave speed, the source frequency, the source position, and the two-colour gradient 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.

On AI tools — where I encountered technical obstacles, I turned to AI tools for debugging and code optimization. Every structural, aesthetic, and conceptual decision remained my own.
01 / Plate

Simulated,
not just drawn.

02 / Surfaces

One composition.
Many surfaces.

The same seed, presented as an archival print — and applied across fabric, scarf, textile and wall surfaces without loss of structure.

Applied across surfaces.

Every surface below is drawn from the same numeric seed — its repeat, orientation and scale adapted to the material, while the underlying structural logic remains identical.

01 / Seed

Variation

A numeric seed initializes the grid size, wave speed, source frequency, source position, and the two-colour gradient palette. Each composition is regenerated and documented as a distinct, traceable output.

02 / Physics

Geometry

A finite-difference solution of the wave equation, iterated over a small grid. A single oscillating source drives the whole field, and the fixed boundaries reflect the wave back inward.

03 / Surface

Application

The resulting composition becomes a surface-design asset — explored across garments, textile prints, wallpaper and other pattern-driven applications.

Fixed Wave is a generative design system rather than a single artwork. Its rippling, interference-based visual language can be adapted for fashion, textile development and other surface-oriented contexts — while maintaining a computational origin.
