M.C. Escher Parametrized (1992)

The oroginal graphics by Escher is a composition of a component (a human figure). This component is tilable since it deploys 5 sets of rotational or translational Symmetry as its parts. By parametrizing each symmetrical part, the entire composition can be deformed while keeping the tilability of the figure .
