Stairs & Stocks #239

—

In Stairs & Stocks, infinitely generated staircases are juxtaposed with fictional stock charts. The stairs are devoid all context, leaving the viewer wonder about the settings they might connect.

While constantly rotating and morphing, the stairs grow new steps, gradually increasing the visual complexity of the rendered scene. Occasionally, the entire scene collapses, only to reorganize shortly after and start the same vicious cycle over again.
