Process
Using the fractal program Apophosis, i played around with different
parameters, trying to create different patterns to use as the base for my
flowers.
In Apohosis, you can make gradient maps out of existing images
to use as colour, which i did in order to give more life to my patterns.
I proceeded to apply the “cross” parameter to it, along with some
adjustments, resulting in the pattern bending into itself, finally
creating a flower shape. I did it 6 times creating 6 different patterns.
Dahlia
Christmas
Lotus
Playing around with the program further, i did 100 renders of one
of the flowers, with small changes in between in order to create a
“blooming flower”. Below is a gif of a minimized 8 frame version.
