Art About Emotion

Every piece in this collection begins with a specific human emotion and asks: what mathematical function has the same shape as this feeling? Grief becomes exponential decay. Connection becomes coupled oscillators. Awe becomes singularities. The equations are real. The feelings are real. The correspondence between them is the art.

Each series uses a different class of mathematical functions to render a different quality of feeling. Browse by the emotion you want to see on your wall.

Loss & Solitude

Decay curves, step functions, catenary sag, spectral erosion. The mathematics of things disappearing.

GRIEF

The mathematics of what disappears. Warmth that spreads until you can't find the source. Steps that only go down.

Void — mathematical art print from the GRIEF series exploring decay, absence, the quiet after loss
Heat Diffusion — mathematical art print from the GRIEF series exploring decay, absence, the quiet after loss

LONGING

Always halving the distance, never arriving. The geometry of wanting what stays just beyond.

Harmonic Decay — mathematical art print from the LONGING series exploring reaching toward what recedes, the ache of distance
Magnetic — mathematical art print from the LONGING series exploring reaching toward what recedes, the ache of distance

NOSTALGIA

Memory with its edges removed. The warmth stays. The details blur. Nothing quite comes back the same.

Reaching — mathematical art print from the NOSTALGIA series exploring remembering, fading, the warmth of what was
Heirloom — mathematical art print from the NOSTALGIA series exploring remembering, fading, the warmth of what was

SOLITUDE

One point in an infinite plane. One signal in silence. The mathematics of being the only thing present.

Signal — mathematical art print from the SOLITUDE series exploring aloneness, vast space, a single presence
Basin — mathematical art print from the SOLITUDE series exploring aloneness, vast space, a single presence

Tension & Rupture

Interference, torsion, bifurcation, turbulence. Systems held between competing forces.

TENSION

The space between holding and collapse. Systems that cannot rest and will not resolve.

Buckling — mathematical art print from the TENSION series exploring strain, opposition, systems that cannot rest
Fracture — mathematical art print from the TENSION series exploring strain, opposition, systems that cannot rest

FRACTURED

The moment things come apart. Not randomly — along every line of weakness that was already there.

Bifurcation — mathematical art print from the FRACTURED series exploring fracture, discontinuity, the moment things break
Erosion — mathematical art print from the FRACTURED series exploring fracture, discontinuity, the moment things break

Connection & Desire

Coupled oscillators, phase synchronization, topological knots. Two systems that choose proximity.

CONNECTION

Two forms moving through the same space. Neither leads nor follows. The gap between them is the relationship.

Magnetic — mathematical art print from the CONNECTION series exploring attraction, companionship, the space between two people
Lorenz — mathematical art print from the CONNECTION series exploring attraction, companionship, the space between two people

DESIRE

The ache of approach. Pursuit curves that never close. The pull that accelerates as you get closer.

Pursuit — mathematical art print from the DESIRE series exploring wanting, pull, gravitational attraction
Threshold — mathematical art print from the DESIRE series exploring wanting, pull, gravitational attraction

TRUST

Choosing the same rhythm without being asked. The mathematics of mutual vulnerability.

Breath Together — mathematical art print from the TRUST series exploring synchrony, mutual vulnerability, shared rhythm
Handshake — mathematical art print from the TRUST series exploring synchrony, mutual vulnerability, shared rhythm

PRIDE

Superellipse arches, ocean harmonics, and interlocking weaves. The mathematics of being proud of who you are — and standing together.

Waves — mathematical art print from the PRIDE series exploring identity, solidarity, sheltering one another, standing together
Road — mathematical art print from the PRIDE series exploring identity, solidarity, sheltering one another, standing together

Joy, Awe & Growth

Fibonacci spirals, harmonic convergence, singularities, emergent patterns. The mathematics of expansion.

WONDER

The feeling of going deeper and finding no end. Recursive depth, strange attractors, patterns that never repeat.

Apollonian Gasket — mathematical art print from the WONDER series exploring awe at structure, the surprise of hidden order
Transform — mathematical art print from the WONDER series exploring awe at structure, the surprise of hidden order

AWE

The cosmic sublime. Solar coronas, gravitational waves, ten thousand galaxies in a single frame.

Eclipse — mathematical art print from the AWE series exploring overwhelmed by scale, the sublime
Singularity — mathematical art print from the AWE series exploring overwhelmed by scale, the sublime

PEACE

After all forces have balanced. Sand shaped by wind. Water with no gradient. The mathematics of having arrived.

Guardian — mathematical art print from the PEACE series exploring stillness, resolution, equilibrium achieved
Horizon — mathematical art print from the PEACE series exploring stillness, resolution, equilibrium achieved

GROWTH

One rule applied thirteen levels deep. A meadow growing at its own pace. The mathematics of reaching toward light.

Branch — mathematical art print from the GROWTH series exploring emergence, branching, reaching toward light
Strata — mathematical art print from the GROWTH series exploring emergence, branching, reaching toward light

RESILIENCE

Stronger where it was hit. Systems that break and reform past where they started.

Forged — mathematical art print from the RESILIENCE series exploring recovery, repair, growing back stronger
Growth — mathematical art print from the RESILIENCE series exploring recovery, repair, growing back stronger

Explore series →

SURRENDER

The moment resistance gives way. Not collapse — completion. The mathematics of ceasing to fight.

Settle — mathematical art print from the SURRENDER series exploring letting go, release, allowing the fall
Melt — mathematical art print from the SURRENDER series exploring letting go, release, allowing the fall

Explore series →

CYCLES

Patterns that return without being asked. Loops that take two passes to complete. Orbits that always come home.

Möbius — mathematical art print from the CYCLES series exploring return, repetition, the pattern that comes back
Seasons — mathematical art print from the CYCLES series exploring return, repetition, the pattern that comes back
