Shader art is underappreciated imo. I've dabbled in it a bit myself but I've never done anything this incredible. Awesome work!

The code (sorry, I can't combine a spoiler tag with a code block):

	p3 += dot(p3, p3.yzx + 19.19);
	return fract((p3.x + p3.y) * p3.z);
}

vec2 c_inv(vec2 p, vec2 o, float r) {
	return (p-o) * r * r / dot(p-o, p-o) + o;
}

float grid(in vec2 p){ p = abs(fract(p+.5)-.5); return 2. * min(p.x, p.y); }

void invArc(in vec2 p, inout vec2 pg, float n, float arc, float rad, float seed) {
	for(float i=0.; i<n; i++) {
		float rnd = .65 * hash11(i+seed);
		pg +=

	vec2 res = resolution.xy;
	vec2 fc = gl_FragCoord.xy;
	vec2 p = (fc-res/2.) / res.y;
	vec3 o = vec3(-1., 0., 1.);

	invArc(p-o.yx*.125, pg, N/8., 1., 1./48., 2.*N);
	invArc(p-o.yz*.125, pg, N/8., 1., 1./48., -2.*N);
	pg *= -1.;

	// p's value is now summed inversions
	p = pg / 18.;

	// new time value
	float T = 10.;// + .15 * time;

	// fractalize
	vec2 p3 = p;
	for(float i=0.; i<14.; i++) {
		p3 += 1.7 * i * vec2(1., .77);
		p3 = rotate(p3, pi/1.55+.2*sin(.15*i-.1));
		p3 = abs(mod(p3, 10.)-5.);
	}

	// apply grid
	f = grid(p3+T);

	// give lines an even thickness
	f /= .05 * res.x * length(vec2(dFdx(p.x), dFdx(p.y)));

	// value adjustment
	f = min(1., f+.73);

	// trying to make a distinction between yin and yang
	f += .05 + .02 * (p.y-p.x);

	vec3 RGB = vec3(f);

	// faux lighting
	f += 1. * (.014 * length(p+15.) - .85);

	// final color
	RGB +=
		mix(
			vec3(.2, .1, .4),
			1.7*vec3(1., .5, .15),
			f
		)-.7;

	gl_FragColor = vec4(RGB, 1.);
}

This is pretty 😊
