I am fascinated by the hyperbolic patterns, and since I learnt about them I see such patterns everywhere. From the bottom of a pretty dress to our most basic DNA strands. The mathematics and syncronicity of this naturally growing pattern is truly a wonder to behold.                                                 Simon, Eden Terrace
