Process & Approach
Polygonism is a meditation on geometric transformation and mathematical precision in digital art. The algorithm begins with a simple polygon—ranging from triangles to complex 12-sided figures—and iteratively transforms it through thousands of calculations, creating delicate, layered compositions that reveal the hidden complexity within basic geometric forms. Each generated piece features unique characteristics including randomized color palettes, opacity variations, stroke weights, and polygon counts, ensuring that no two artworks are identical. The resulting compositions balance algorithmic precision with organic emergence, showcasing how simple mathematical rules can generate surprisingly complex and beautiful visual structures.
