Thanks for the comment.ย Unfortunately we geniuses have to live in obscurity until we're dead, then someone will discover our works and sell them for millions.

Obviously the egg came first. The creature that laid it didn't have to be a freaking chicken!!!!!! EVOLUTION!!!

Well... evolution tells us that the egg came first. c:

It could have been the egg but then where did the chicken come from that laid that egg? There couldn't just be a random egg with no chicken to lay it but no one knows. I think you're right though and good work!

Excuse me but I didn't understand what it is, can you explain?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm going to assume that your question is serious, and will answer it as a result. Depending on your age and past reading, you may not understand the references.
This work alludes to two themes. First, is the age old philosophical, but humorous, question, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?". The second theme is that of the monolith in the Stanley Kubrick movie, "2001: A Space Odyssey," and Arthur Clarke's novel which was written simultaneously with the movie (information found here [link] ).
Both themes have been discussed in cosmological studies of both religion and origin of man. I combined them by substituting the fractal "egg" for the monolith. Art with deeper meaning interests me more than other work.
Did this help?

Yes I am serious, I often can't understand fractal art and I am trying to understand the subject, I know about "which came fist" thing but I have no knowledge of "Space odyssey", so I will 1st find something about that and than will try to understand this.
Thank you for the answer.

A fractal seventh avatar of Vishnu? Sita and Lakshmana would be proud.
๐: 0 โฉ: 2
Well, I suppose it could be...a seventh divine glory which has not yet been born in mankind...
Although I was referring to a different RAMA...from your reference to the "Arthur Clarke" (R.I.P.) version...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I know. I was just being punny with the Hindu reference.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
No, I know that you really referred to Clarke's RAMA series.

And for your next act...Cecil material!
Should be easy for a pro like you
