🧪 Flower of Life Sacred Geometry (2D)

A flat-canvas companion to the 3D Flower of Life scene: the same hexagonal ring-packing math draws the pattern circle by circle, with direct controls over ring count, growth speed and color so the geometric construction — not the camera work — is what you're watching.

The Flower of Life is built from equal-radius circles whose centers sit on a hexagonal lattice: one center at the origin, then rings of 6, 12, 18… centers stepping outward, each ring exactly one circle-radius further out than the last. This 2D version draws that construction directly on a flat canvas — no camera, no lighting, just the ring-packing coordinates, a per-ring hue shift, and a staged reveal so each ring fades and scales in after the one before it finishes. Because the underlying geometry is inherently planar, this view actually shows the ring math more legibly than the 3D scene: every circle's overlap with its six neighbors — the source of the pattern's "petals" — reads at a glance.
