I really love how this article was written. I am unfamiliar with the author and I went in expecting something short but cool about how weird it is to layer paint on a canvas to assemble a perpetual light field that other humans can look at but the hard left turn that is really just straight down the road into programming and math. Even the presentation of the blog and how the story is chunked out. This is really exemplary and beautiful stuff and inspires me to put my ideas together in ways that can deliver similar relevance, ideas, and charm for the reader.

The walk from the prayer beads to the mirror honestly blew my mind in a way I wasn't expecting and I've looked at that painting before. In just a few words he handed me the keys to a type of active viewing that has been difficult for me.
