"Primes" is a generative artwork that visualizes prime numbers in the Cartesian space.

The spiral formed by prime numbers is a mesmerizing and enigmatic mathematical phenomenon that unveils the hidden order within the seemingly random distribution of prime numbers. When you arrange the natural numbers in a spiral, starting from the center and spiraling outwards, marking the prime numbers along the way, a captivating pattern emerges. Primes tend to cluster along certain diagonal lines, creating a beautiful visual representation of their distribution.

As you trace the spiral, you'll notice that prime numbers are not uniformly scattered but instead form intriguing sequences and clusters. Mathematicians have long marveled at the mysterious regularities within this chaotic arrangement, and the study of prime spirals has led to valuable insights in number theory. The visual appeal of prime spirals, coupled with their deep mathematical significance, makes them a fascinating subject of exploration and contemplation for both mathematicians and enthusiasts alike.
