Fibonacci Circles
The Fibonacci Circles collection shows arrangements of circles whose diameter corresponds to the Fibonacci numbers. The diameter of a circle is therefore the sum of the diameters of the next two smaller circles. The colored areas grow as the square of the Fibonacci numbers.
Encircling Circles
In the Encircling Circles series, one circle is surrounded by the next larger circle so that they touch on the inside. The larger circle therefore encloses all the smaller Fibonacci circles. The only exceptions to this rule are the two innermost circles with a diameter of 1 cm, which touch each other on the outside as the origin of the image.
The point at which the circles touch rotates counter-clockwise by 90º from circle to circle.

Fibonacci Caterpillar
In the Fibonacci Caterpillar image, the circles have been colored with a red gradient that runs from light to dark from the inside to the outside. The smaller circles cover the larger circles. This arrangement creates a 3D effect when viewed over a longer period of time, allowing many to recognize a writhing caterpillar with two bright eyes.
