The truth is that my specialty is l-system fractals, so I made
hundreds of 3d and thousands of 2d. In addition, some of my works have
polyhedra as framework. What better way than to make an artwork that
is at the same time a fractal built with polyhedra? And not just any
polyhedron, but the stella octangula is the first iteration of the 3D
analogue of a Koch snowflake.
Sierpinski tetrahedral of Stella octangula Coxeter said that
regular polyhedra were studied, first and foremost, for their
beauty. Kepler's stella octangula is beautiful, in fact, one of
the few polyhedra sold as pendants. One of the problems we have
left is to tile the space, in an aesthetic way. In this case
leaving gaps. We have two solutions: Hiding the interior, or
highlighting the interior void with skeletal figures. In this case
we present a Sierpinski tetrahedron-like formation in which the
openings of it are protruding or incoming produced by Stella. The
figure is composed of triangles, which reinforces its rigidity. Of
course, it is a fractal to which we can add layers of Stella
Octangula.
