A single closed curve starts as a small circle in the center and grows through differential growth simulation — nodes repel each other while edges try to stay connected, creating organic branching patterns reminiscent of coral or lichen. The curve expands to fill the entire A4 page with dense, maze-like structures. Implemented with a spatial grid for efficient neighbor queries and RDP simplification for clean SVG output.

As a generative plotter artist, I use code to generate art (creative coding) and physically create it with pen plotters, which is itself a generative process – each physical plot is a unique variant. I love dualities, like digital vs analog physical, abstract vs figurative, orthogonal vs polar, photo vs noise,...
