Fibonacci Sphere

The Fibonacci sequence, which begins 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and builds by adding the first number to the second over and over again, is one of the most recognizable ideas in mathematics. This sequence leads to things like the golden ratio, spirals and self-similar curves. They appear everywhere in Nature, from the leaf arrangement in plants, to the spiral patterns in sunflowers, the bracts of a pine cone, or the scales of a pineapple. The Fibonacci numbers are therefore applicable to the growth of every living thing, including a single cell, a grain of wheat, a hive of bees, and even the proportions of the human body. The Fibonacci Sphere was created and textured using 3d computer graphics software and rendered using a rendering engine that uses global illumination algorithms. Print on paper 30cm x 30cm
