I made a fractal merkabah

[Lao Tzunami]

I made this fractal to explore the relationship between the one and the many.

As the 2D star of david, or the 3D merkabah, there is a symbolic relationship between the point and the horizontal line/triangle. Vertical orders tend to represent priorities, so the two relationships are:

• upward pointing: one > many
• downward pointing: many > one

This is abstract, so I tried to depict these two relationships with objects:

• mountains / pyramids: the many starting points at the bottom converge as you climb the mountain
• trees: the single trunk branches into wider and more diverse differentiation

I'm still learning, but I believe this is one interpretation of the masculine and feminine. The masculine focuses and unifies to achieves a goal, while the feminine expands and connects the scope.

I feel like men women are different, and even if there is tension, there is an ideal way where both can serve a complementary role, but I'm still trying to figure out what that looks like.

Very cool.
