Euclid's nightmare

Euclid's nightmare is my recent take on the wonder of mathematics. It represents the complexity and beauty of mathematics, from which nature also takes inspiration. The shape you are seeing is a variation of a 3D fractal called "Mandelbulb" infinitely complex but extremely easy to define in math language, based on Mandelbrot's 2D fractal (Benoît Mandelbrot 1924-2010) and extruded in 3 dimensions with imaginary numbers, visualized thanks to the latest 3D rendering techniques.
