Opus VIII — Recursive Cathedral

Recursive domain warp at depth 7 — the deepest warp in the collection — contained within an Islamic 8-pointed star tessellation frame. Each star tile is a window into alien geometry born from 7 layers of self-referential noise transformation. Architecture from pure recursion.

Offset rows of large hexagons tessellate across the full frame, forming a rigid modular field. Deep indigo fills each cell, while thin magenta-orange outlines create a double-stroked rim that sharpens every boundary. Soft internal gradients and fine grain modulate each hexagon face, creating localized shadow blooms that vary tile to tile. Dark interstitial channels between cells reinforce depth and establish a repeating honeycomb rhythm.
