Crystal Vision Unfolded 1/1 Edition

This geometric design has been the symbol of the artist Michael Strauss for over 15 years. 12 white hexagons surrounding 6 blue hexagons, with a black void in the center - forming a stylized eyeball.

Based on the sacred geometry of Metatron’s Cube and the Star Tetrahedron, this pattern is known as the Grid of Life.

This same arrangement of 18 hexagons is also known as the iconic "golden mirror array" of the James Webb Space Telescope - our newly awakened eye in the cosmos.

A constant feature in his work, Michael has made hundreds of unique animations of this signature shape with many varied techniques. This collection features a special selection of his most favorite creations over the past decade based on this image.

“Crystal Vision Unfolded” is among the strongest of these hexagonal animations, using intricate geometry to break the image apart into a hypnotic twisting virtual kaleidoscope.
