#MathArtMarch Day 17 (Symmetry)
Lots of choices for this prompt, but in the end I decided to go for this Vicsek #fractal. Even though the colouring actually breaks the some of the symmetry, I think it somehow feels more symmetric than in a single colour.

Start with a line segment. Replace it with two lines at 45° to it, scaled by √2. Keep repeating. You get the Heighway Dragon #fractal.
I think the pattern inside is caused by my scaling factor not being exactly √2 (#PowerPoint doesn't allow irrational size)
