MEHNDI — HENNA PATTERN LIVING GEOMETRY VISUAL STYLE

VISUAL STYLE: Mehndi — the art of henna body decoration translated into animation. Dense, flowing geometric and botanical patterns that expand outward from a central point, covering every surface they touch. The pattern is always growing, always completing itself.

COLOUR PALETTE: Deep warm reddish-brown (#5C1A0A) — the colour of dried henna on skin — as the primary mark. Applied to a warm cream or golden skin-tone ground (#E8C99A). No other colours. The entire image is this two-tone relationship — the mark and the surface it adorns.

PATTERN LANGUAGE: Paisleys, lotuses, peacock feathers, geometric interlocking stars, fine trailing vine tendrils, concentric circles with radiating petals. Every element connects to the next — the pattern has no isolated units, only a continuous elaborating field.

GROWTH: The pattern expands — beginning at a single central point and radiating outward in all directions simultaneously. New elements bud from existing ones. The animation shows the drawing of the pattern in real time — a line extends, then branches, then flowers.

LINE QUALITY: Fine, even weight throughout — the precision of a henna cone applied to skin. Internal fills are cross-hatched or dotted. The line never breaks and never wavers.

SCALE: Macro and micro simultaneously — some elements large enough to read clearly, smaller elements filling every negative space between them.

No colour beyond henna brown on warm ground. No figurative content. No broken line. The pattern completes itself.
