Prime Factor System 1 / Details / 90x90

Dimensions: 90 × 90 × 4 cm, stretcher frame with canvas, 24-karat gold leaf and pencil on matte midnight-blue chalkboard lacquer, created in November 2024.
The natural numbers up to 768 are depicted with their respective number of prime factors. Their fractal recurrence is traced with delicate pencil lines. The intervals are 6–12–24–48–96–192–384–768.
The number of prime factors required for a natural number can be read from the concentric circular levels: with one factor, the line passes only through the first circle; with two factors, it extends through two circles — moving from the inside outward.
