Artwork Description

NAUTILUS (PULCHRUM)

0.0 x 0.0

As the nautilus grows, as does the Descarte’s curve from its origin, it passes from one chamber to another. It does so isometrically, meaning that its chambers increase in size but their shape is variable. By homothecia the cameras are generated one after another with a relation of proportionality uncommon in nature. It can inhabit 600 meters under the water and withstand great hydrostatic pressures, because the walls increase of thickness in proportion to the radius of the shell. There is no doubt that it is perfect, so perfect, that to imitate it, it had to be printed in 3D, it is an imitation based on precision software. Mathematical perfection.
