Flowr is an infinite generative series that explores the way nature creates forms. Each piece is a variation of the same system: as in nature, everything looks alike but nothing is ever identical. Can flowers be beautiful if they’re geometric? And if they have no color?

The work can express itself in four different modes: a bouquet of flowers, a figurative tree, a flowering branch, or a homogeneous tapestry of shapes. The flowers, in turn, can be of two types: composite or mandala-shaped. Within each mode there are infinite variations depending on the shape of the flowers, their distribution and size, the thickness of the lines, or the degree of their deformation.

Flowr is inspired by the work of Gregory Mirow, an industrial designer who created floral patterns in the folk and geometric style of the 1970s. Here, however, the flowers and plants are the result of a set of rules and parameters that allow for infinite combinations. Each composition incorporates variations that evoke the organic and unpredictable growth of nature. The algorithm is written in vanilla JavaScript and Canvas 2D.

The work takes physical form through selected prints: generated by the community on the web and later curated by the author.
