Fractal Spoon 2021-11-11 (R5_99A2924)

“What you ask, was the beginning of it all?

And it is this …

Existence that multiplied itself for sheer delight of being

And plunged into numberless trillions of forms

So that it might find itself innumerably”

- Sri Aurobindo

 

Doing some indoor practice/homework for the final week of my macro course I stole an idea that I’d seen a beautiful example of by the always inspiring Judi May, that is reflections in a spoon.

 

Called “Fractal Spoon” because the teaspoon is sitting on top of one of my favourite books, "The Colours of Infinity: The Beauty and Power of Fractals" - proving that I am a geeky mathematics nerd once and for all :-)

 

This book is based on a lovely TV show which is also available on YouTube and has a soundtrack featuring music by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour (my favourite band and favourite guitarist).

 

You can see it here if you are a geeky mathematics nerd too —> www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoHGlBpFkHY

 

If you just like to listen to a rather beautiful medley (in high-definition sound) of some of the beautiful David Gilmour music from the soundtrack listen here —> www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC_7rMdA7gs - it truly is gorgeous.

 

The opening quote appears in the closing credits of The Colours of Infinity.
