Cube Ziggurat

Lumen & Logic

A monochrome isometric fractal pyramid. Stacks of shrinking cubes — a big cube, a smaller cube centred on its top, and on until a tiny nubbin caps the tower — stand on a triangular formation, one small stack at the apex and progressively more and larger stacks toward the bottom-front, so the whole piece reads as a triangle built of self-similar cube ziggurats. Every cube carries a mini cube perched on the left corner of its top face, and the minis carry tinier cubes still, echoing the recursion down to a few pixels. Faces are flat and unoutlined — white left faces, light-grey tops, black right faces — and every cube throws a soft translucent grey drop shadow that carves the white-on-white silhouettes out of the plain ground.
