Art, an expression of the human mind that is admired throughout the whole world. Though, how could mathematics be implemented into the likes of something of this craft? This is where Maurits Cornelis Escher comes into the picture, an extremely influential graphic artist who incorporated tons of different geometric patterns and logic into his pieces. As a result of his countless inspections, he has given the viewer a true marvel to observe. Escher’s art allows the audience to really think about what they’re looking at, as he delves into different aspects of how exactly life is viewed.

From there, it continued to grow, spreading from chickens to wild birds and eventually humans in 1981 with the H1N1 strain claiming 50 to 100 million lives amidst World War 1. Due to its rapid mutations and developments, it has begun to inflict other livestock such as aquatic birds, pigs, and, most recently, as of 2024, cows...click here to read more
