A photon is the elementary particle of light. This is the quantum unit of electromagnetic radiation, which includes all forms of light, from radio waves to X-rays and gamma rays. The photon lacks mass and electric charge, and moves at the speed of light in a vacuum.

In the context of quantum physics, photons are considered as elementary particles and are essential to understand the dual nature of light, which can behave both as a particle and as a wave. Photons carry energy in the form of discrete packets, and their energy is related to the frequency of the light they represent. The higher the frequency, the higher the energy of the photon.

"Photons" is a minimalist abstract generative artwork in which I continue my exploration in the use of color, this time using different layers and types of pixel combinations.
