The fractal trees in this poster represent the Sefirot of the kabbalistic Tree of Life. Fractals are forms that are self-similar on different scales. How many trees are here?

There are eighteen complete trees in the three larger wheels. Eighteen is the gematria (number value) of the Hebrew word for Life - Chai.

But there are even smaller wheels, hinting that this fractal process of reproduction and self-similarity can be continued endlessly inward. And there is also the suggestion of even larger trees continuing endlessly outward.

You can also see this poster as just the cross-section of of one giant tree. The three wheels (containing eighteen complete trees) can thus represent the three generations of life that we are primarily embedded in - grandparents, parents and children.

The Tree of Life contains all the generations, but we can only know a small 'slice' of it. The Hebrew word for wheel, galgal, is similar to the word for reincarnation, gilgul, and the word for age, gil.
