Abstract
The Julia set has the potential to generate beautifully elaborate images from simple functions. Yet, two-dimensional computer-generated graphics are only able to depict such complexity through animation. I attempt to capture the essential aesthetic intricacies of the Julia set in a three-dimensional perspective, modeling an art piece that organically morphs according to the Julia set while also acting as a multifunctional object.
