Day 3: Sierpinski Triangle & Oakland Museum

This plant was one of the plants that caught my eye. I took a picture of this plant because of its pattern inside the leaf. It is a simple leaf, but the pattern inside the leaf is completely random, making it look unique and more complex.
This plant is a Ohi'a plant, which is found in the islands of Hawaii. I like this plant because all of pink material are exactly the same. This means that it shows self-similarity as it continues to look like itself.

I found this picture unique because of how simple it was. Although it was simple, it shows a pattern that is ultimately one of my favorites; self similarity. All of the leaves are exactly the same and the pattern continues throughout the plant.
This unique piece of art is called a Sierpinski Triangle. The Sierpinski Triangle was named after the Polish mathematician, Waclaw Sierpinski. Inside this triangle, are thousands of mor triangles. And inside those triangles are thousands and thousans more triangles. This piece of art is a fractal and shows self-similarity as it continues to look like itself.
