Anxiety, Stress & Despair

There may be times when you need to convey stress, anxiety, anger, fear, rage, depression, or other negative emotional states. The fractals below offer an alternative to photographic depiction of these unhappy moods and emotions. Convey the feeling of plunging into a pit of despair with our Purgatory image, or use a fractal with a busy, repeating design to suggest the subtle pressure of time or the sense of being trapped on a treadmill, going nowhere.

Whether you see the fiery pits of hell or anxiety, despair, and depression depends upon your frame of mind. This fractal is full of turbulent movement and turmoil, and the brilliant reds and oranges are evocative of the earth's volcanic processes. In a frenzied proliferation of crazy zigzag lines that is the very definition of chaos, a kind of wild, manic energy permeates this image. This crosshatch of angry red and grey lines going nowhere suggests stress, frustration, and the pressure of schedules and being trapped in the rat race.

Chaos
 
Rush Hour
 
In this abstract fractal, a golden spoked wheel rests before a mass of spiky green plants resembling rushes or perhaps yucca. A spring palette with a fractured, jagged edginess. This whirl of clock faces against a motion blur suggests speed, stress, and the pressure of schedules and appointments. What a great image for a puzzle! If you see a churning cloud of fear, anxiety, and despair in this image, you wouldn't be the first. This fractal is full of heat and turmoil, and has an ominous brooding quality.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun
 
High Anxiety
 
You might spot a rather nasty fellow lurking in this image. Whether you see hell fire and brimstone, a skull, or a horned beast in this intense fractal, there's no argument it's provocative. These multi-colored sharp prickly spines could be lightning, a spiky plant, or even needles of despair. In any case, they're strongly evocative of pain, discomfort, and anxiety. Named for the form of chaos theory known as Brownian Motion, this fractal is full of earth tones and chaotic elements. For some, it might have sci-fi overtones; for others, it may connote dark moods and emotional turmoil.
The Devil's in the Details
 
Ouch!
 
Brownian Cosmos
 
Have you ever felt like you're being eaten alive? This image, with its swirling spiral of sharks and blood red droplets, comes as close as any we've got to conveying a sense of voracious chaos, threat, and menace.
