Familiar faces get a mathematical twist in web designer Igor Kochmala‘s Fibonacci Sequence-based photo series, Dr. Fibonazi’s Plastic Surgery Clinic. Like a digital plastic surgeon, Kochmala warps the visages of celebrities like Jack Nicholson, Bryan Cranston, and Nicolas Cage in the exponential pattern of the “Golden Ratio,” which scientists have found in plants, hurricanes, and the spiral arms of galaxies. While the results aren’t as beautiful as cosmic phenomena, for some they might be just as awe-inspiring.
