Each element (besides the painting ground textures) is based on the underlying subdivided grid which is sometimes exposed like some kind of preliminary drawing.

Note on the split:
After seeing some of the outputs, Sermin had a dream about “Breeding Grounds” and I decided to incorporate events and feelings from her dream into the project. That's how the names of the color palettes came about. Thank you for naming them, Sermin!

## Flavor text 
Supposedly it all started with the Romans. When breaking a mirror your soul would be cursed. Fortunately, the Romans also believed that the soul renews every 7 years. So actually, breaking a mirror brings you at most 7 years of bad luck, but I supposed the "at most" part was dropped because it didn't sound as cool.

## The Algorithm
The mirror shards are created by recursively breaking up a base shape into smaller pieces. Once the mirror is broken each shard is displaced. This is not a packing algorithm.

The texture is created using domain warped Perlin noise.

## Main Features
- 26 color palettes.
- 3 types shape groups (square, 5-10-sided-polygon, circle).
- 4 levels of 'brokenness' -- the number of mirror shards.
- 2 methods for breaking up the shards.
