A grid of living cells — each generation rewriting the last, until the pattern settles into a maze of colour and quiet.
For fashion houses, textile studios and surface designers. Each composition is generated from a numeric seed and can be licensed, adapted or commissioned to your brief.
Every cell is a small decision — and every decision rewrites the one after it.
I am an Iranian-born artist working at the intersection of classical textile logic and generative systems. My work begins with a simple observation: the woven surface — repetitive, mathematically structured, infinitely variable — has always been a form of computation, long before computers.
Maze of Life draws from the traditions of cellular automata — grids of cells that evolve according to simple neighbourhood rules. Each seed initializes a grid (100–200 columns × 100–200 rows), applies the rules for 500 to 10,500 generations, and stabilizes into a maze of colour and void.
What remains is a texture — the trace of rules that interacted and settled. Each cell is coloured from a shared foreground palette; each generation rewrites the grid. The final composition is emergent: neither planned nor random, but the inevitable result of a small rule applied thousands of times.
The same seed, presented as an archival print — and applied across fabric, scarf, textile and wall surfaces without loss of structure.
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.
A numeric seed initializes the grid dimensions (100–200), the background colour, the foreground palette, the initial density, and the number of iterations (500–10,500). Each output is regenerated and documented as a distinct, traceable work.
Each cell in the grid evolves according to a neighbourhood rule — living cells survive with two or three neighbours; dead cells revive with exactly three. Over hundreds or thousands of generations, the grid settles into a maze.
The resulting composition becomes a surface-design asset — explored across garments, textile prints, wallpaper and other pattern-driven applications.
Maze of Life is a generative design system rather than a single artwork. Its cellular-automata language can be adapted for fashion, textile development and other surface-oriented contexts — while maintaining a computational origin.
Each surface is drawn from the same numeric seed — reproducible, licensable, adaptable to your brief.
