digital art: Dark Star — tile © 2026 Bill Eberle
ai says: the tile reveals the unit behind the full pattern: two large spiky star-crowns, one at top and one at bottom, face each other across a shared black center; their jagged points interlock and mirror with strict bilateral symmetry, and where they meet the negative space assembles into something face-like — a pair of small diamond eyes, angular cheekbones, a suggestion of a mouth — as if a ceremonial mask were hidden inside the geometry; the electric-blue outlines read as almost luminous against the black ground, and the small connective forms at the margins show exactly how this tile locks to its neighbors to build the continuous field of the full image. artist says: this is the square tile used by Kaleider (and captured by me as an image) to create the image for the background (also captured by me).
