This fractal is part of my Project: Essentialities series, an ensemble of six conceptual works with Japanese names. The name "Essentialities" refers both to their minimalistic appearance (monochrome with a hint of colour) and to their intrinsic meaning: each of this series' fractals represents an essentiality, that is to say, a very relevant element of every human soul, or for every human life.

There's a sub-trilogy in this series, called the Trilogy of Life, which includes the three cardinal elements of the human being - spirit, consciousness, and heart. Each of those three elements comes with a primary colour: blue, yellow and red respectively.
The other three elements belonging to the series but not to this sub-trilogy focus on the secondary colours: green, purple, and orange, respectively representing truth, expression and feeling; their colours are not random: each of them is the offspring of two out of three elements from the Trilogy of Life. Truth is born from spirit and consciousness; expression is born from spirit and heart; feeling is born from consciousness and heart.

This is the series' second fractal, Shotai (しょうたい, "Consciousness", actually not its strict meaning, but one of the possible ones).
