Our brains delight in recognizing and understanding patterns. Viewing fractals and geometric patterns activates a sense of joy and curiosity, engaging the brain's love for order and symmetry.

But patterns are more than polka dots and stripes. They help make sense of all that information through recurring and regular arrangements and by creating a sense of harmony.

A fractal is a never-ending pattern. They are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop. 

Fractals are not just a mathematical concept. They are prevalent in nature, adding a touch of awe-inspiring beauty to our surroundings. Trees, rivers, coastlines, mountains, clouds, seashells, hurricanes - all these natural wonders are adorned with fractals. 

With their natural appeal, fractals have a unique power over our minds. The fact that they are naturally occurring patterns found in nature, makes them aesthetically pleasing to our brains. This natural appeal often leads to a reduction in stress and mental fatigue when we view them. It's as if our visual system is evolved to recognize and appreciate these repeating patterns across different scales, providing us with a moment of calm in our busy lives. 

Our ancestors may have benefited from recognizing fractal patterns in their environment, like navigating through dense forests. This ability to recognize and find comfort in fractals has been passed down to us, making them soothing and stress-relieving. So here it is, your moment of Zen, albeit in puzzle form.

Garry Gay

Garry Gay is a photographer and writer whose vivid and poetic imagery has earned him recognition as a leading figure in both visual and literary arts. Best known for his pioneering work in haiga—the art of combining haiku poetry with photography—Gay combines the precision of the camera lens with the subtle elegance of Japanese poetic form. His work invites quiet reflection, drawing viewers into carefully composed scenes that evoke mood, emotion, and a deep connection to nature.
Born in California, Gay studied photography at the Brooks Institute and began his professional career focusing on commercial and fine art photography. Over time, his passion for visual storytelling led him to explore the expressive potential of combining photographs with original haiku, a journey that would become central to his creative identity. He has since published several books and collections, earning acclaim for his unique ability to capture fleeting moments with lyrical sensitivity and visual grace, reminding us of the beauty in transience.
Garry Gay’s haiga has been exhibited internationally, and his poetry has appeared in numerous journals and anthologies. A founding member of the Haiku Society of America’s Haiga group, he is a prolific artist and a dedicated mentor. His commitment to nurturing and inspiring a new generation of artists and poets is a testament to his belief in the power of creativity. Through his seamless fusion of word and image, Gay’s work offers a meditative pause in a fast-paced world, reminding audiences of the beauty in the every day and the power of simplicity.
