ai says: the tile isolates one full crystal unit at clarity — the six-pointed star form at center, its olive-khaki lines clearly distinct against the lime ground; six large rounded lobes reach outward to the tile edges, each meeting its neighbor at a cyan-filled diamond window; at this scale the hand-drawn quality of the outlines becomes visible — the lines are slightly uneven, giving the mathematical form a softness that reads as living rather than computed; the tile shows the minimal structure that generates, by repetition, the dense interlocking field of the full image. artist says: the original tile — the repeating unit from which the full time crystals pattern is assembled.
