In Escher's World, I enjoyed learning new ideas about math and expressing them through my work. This piece is entitled "A Fishy Situation". In this piece, I expressed many mathematical concepts that I learned in Escher's World. In order to create this, I spent several days designing a spiral made out of a fractal using fish. At first, I didn't dilate the fish that were in rows of four, so they were cramped up on the inside row of the spiral. Then, I experimented with the amount of dilation and found one that fits.
