21 desktop wallpapers. Each one starts from something real: an indigo vat, a salt flat, a radio telescope, a watch dial.
Three of the 21, with a 1:1 crop from the 3024 × 1964 px files beside each. Exported at 2x, so hairlines stay sharp on retina screens.
No. 18 · Watch dial engraving · Switzerland and France
Guilloché is the engraving on watch dials and banknotes: a cutter traces the same looping path again and again, shifting a hair each pass. Here that becomes 64 hypotrochoid lines with a drifting phase, building one 11‑lobed rosette.
Each hairline stays separate, even at full size.
No. 03 · Ripple stitch · Iceland, in crochet
Ripple stitch is the chevron pattern of a crocheted blanket, worked row by row. These rows are dyed as an Icelandic aurora, with curtain rays above lit ridges and bobble stars in the dark.
Every stitch is drawn, not textured.
No. 09 · FAST 500 m radio telescope · Guizhou, China
FAST, the 500 m radio telescope in Guizhou, is a dish of thousands of triangular aluminium panels on a cable net. Here those panels become a ship's hull, lit by the sky they reflect, with a feed cabin hung on six cables.
Cable-net nodes sit at every panel corner.

21 PNG files, about 70 MB, each 3024 × 1964 px. Each file is named for its source, like “Provenance 01 · Kirkjufell”.
The files are 3024 × 1964 px, the native 2x size of a 14-inch MacBook Pro. On other laptops and monitors, set the wallpaper to Fill. On a 16:9 screen that trims about 7% from the top and bottom. On 5K and 6K displays they are scaled up, so the finest hairlines look slightly softer than on a laptop.
No. There are no notch cut-outs or notch-shaped elements, so every wallpaper works on any display.
