Nautilus Universe

The spiral is the most intriguing and inspiring motif for me. In particular, the interior of a nautilus shell is comprised of finely divided, cell-like compartments linked together like a spiral staircase in a logarithmic spiral that obeys the golden mean, beckoning my mind to the far reaches of eternity. In this experimental work of art, I used digital enhancement to visually present my sense of the flow of energy of the universe within this shell.
