Music to the eyes

Fractals are like music to the eyes. Music doesn’t need to imitate the sounds of nature —such as the songs of birds, water streams or the wind— or rely on lyrics to convey meaning and be appreciated. By and large, no one questions if music is art or not; generally, as long as it has some rhythm, some harmonious frequencies, nobody needs a guide to grasp its worth. So that’s the way people should understand fractal art: its beauty lies in colors, shapes, patterns, symmetries, even in its complexity or simplicity. There’s no need to try and establish any association to real-life things to say we know what it means, what it represents, even if few of them —fractal images— if by chance, pleases the eye of common sense.
