12 Circles Weave a Sacred Rose Window

BEHIND THE WORK

Can a single continuous line weave the sacred geometry of a Gothic cathedral rose window?

Inspired by the famous stained glass rose windows of Notre-Dame and Chartres, this 12-fold epicycloid harmonic curve traces interlocking lancet arches and geometric tracery in a seamless, unbroken stroke.

Artismathic turns equations into visual art—one function at a time.
