Fractal Fusion: a Fusion of Modern Fractal Art with an Ancient Poetry Form, Haiku Thomas G Conally

Fractal Fusion is a feast for the eyes. In modern culinary terms, fusion means a mixing of cultural foods. This term is used here to represent a mixing of cultural art and literature. A fractal is a modern mathematical subset representing natural elements that can be plotted in color on a computer,however this is not about the math, it is about art. From there many digital techniques have been employed to tease out the most beautiful representations of the representative fractal. The ancient Japanese Haiga is a form where a Haiku was associated with a wood cut or drawing and more recently a photograph. Here the elements of Haiku or Senryu are incorporated to represent as best it can, modern digital abstract art based on Fractal math. It is at times a difficult task and as in the fractal, one must use their imagination.
