Homer’s work hits again and again on the topos of the inexpressible. People will always do that. We have always been fascinated by infinite space, by the endless stars and by galaxies upon galaxies. How does a person feel when looking at the sky? He thinks that he doesn't have enough tongues to describe what he sees. Nevertheless, people have never stopped describing the sky, simply listing what they see. Umberto Eco

J(z) = z^2 + c
c = -0.8 - 0.2i
A Julia set of a quadratic polynomial; In a Julia set, an arbitrarily small perturbation can cause drastic changes in the sequence of iterated function values.

The Burning Ship fractal, originally described by Michael Michelitsch and Otto E. Rössler in 1992. It is based on the Mandelbrot set, the difference being that the real and imaginary components are set to their respective absolute values before squaring at each iteration.
A quaternion Julia set of the Burning Ship - a 4D hypercomplex equivalent of the 2D fractal based on complex numbers.
An exploration of a 3d Julia set of the Burning Ship based on polar coordinates.
A wide-angle perspective inside the 3D Burning Ship set.
