This generator is named 'Ichigo' (苺/ いちご), the Japanese word for 'strawberry'.

Seeing each iteration from a suitable distance, small dots (to me, reminiscent of strawberry seeds) overlay different sequences of geometric repetitions, implying a sense of texture, grittiness and irregularity.

By looking closer however, it becomes apparent to the viewer that the majority of the composition is in fact government by orderly elements, in this case grids of dots.

This discovery invites the viewer to consider the output in front of them at different levels, near and far. At what point do you feel the dots begin to dissolve into a texture? When do you stop noticing the dots and instead begin to perceive the overall composition?

These questions are posed in a similar fashion as with meditation; at what point does something become something else? When does an in-breath become an out-breath and vice versa?

Contemplation on simple questions like these can open a small portal into stillness and mindfulness by taking time to slowly observe our responses.

23 palettes are included, each named after different areas of Tokyo.

As always, much gratitude and enjoy your piece.
